IANAL. The ham radio community needs to raise this with the FCC. This section was originally constructed a long time ago (1993?). I'm guessing it's biased this way to stop 1940's era spys from operating.

The only way for coins to evaporate is for the wallets to get lost. It happens. The thing people seem to get stuck on is that a coin isn't divisible. It is.
