NOTE: The reason it did not pop the first time was because I neglected to save in GD on my PC before doing the load-save in Meltdown followed by a load in GD. If you do exactly what I've outlined, you should have no trouble getting the coins achievements just a little bit easier.

You will still need 91 coins in the main GD (I got all three coins in every official level except Deadlocked and Fingerdash and completed the first 28 map packs, demon pack 3, and remix pack 4, as well as got two of the freebie secret coins). You need to get all 9 coins in GD Meltdown (the free mobile app). After reaching 91 coins in main GD, save, then load on the meltdown app, save on the meltdown app, load again in main GD, relaunch the game, and the achievement will pop with technically 91 coins instead of 100. Basically, though GD won't transfer your stats to your account visibly, Steam somehow tracks these hidden Meltdown coins regardless of the fact they don't appear on your profile page on GD. This means the achievement will pop. However, you won't get the UFO tied to the achievement. This is a nice little shortcut I found independently, but I'm sure someone else has figured it out on their own too.

This method will no longer be as strange once 2.2 releases and transfer between Meltdown, World, and Subzero is programmed properly. However, it will still work just fine, and in fact be twice as good since you can get 9 coins from Subzero as well (18 in total) transferred permanently to your account. As soon as you save on the main GD application (instead of Meltdown), the 9 coins from Meltdown are no longer tracked by Steam unless you do the whole load-save load thing again; this is why you cannot get 18 coins transferred to your account in this fashion (as of 2.1) since you would need to do this method across two separate applications, where 9 of the coins would be lost due to having to do the method several times.

You can use this same method for all of the coins achievements, so say you're at 66 coins and do the whole transfer thing I mentioned above, getting all 9 coins in Meltdown; you'll then get the 75 coins achievement on Steam.
