Why does the Flash Sale Coupon always exclude the "Coins & Paper Money" category?

They don't want to essentially give a cash gift to people.  They used to be good for gift cards but they took that away too, people would just buy gas etc gift cards.  They want people to shop on ebay not just convert the coupon to being a cash payment

All promotions are for the good of eBay.

The exclusions are well described by toby.

EBay has promotions when they want more listings or more sales in particular categories which are falling behind.
