Three of Coins nerf: Bad Implementation IMO (Destiny)

There's a really easy way to have fixed the Three of Coins farming that people were doing: Put a cooldown timer on using the item.

But instead, Bungie has added an invisible, unknown timer which nerfs the effect if it's used "too rapidly." We have no clue as to how rapid "too rapid" is.

Before the nerf, one could expect around a 1:6 engram to coins used ratio. Post nerf, people on reddit are reporting closer to 1:15, and that's chaining entire strikes rather than farming a single boss and wiping over and over.

Clarity on this time would be much appreciated, but putting a lockout timer on the item would have been dramatically more effective on all fronts.
