As far as "gobbling the card" is concerned, their FAQ states that they can only be used with "dip" ATMs, which may also address the button pushing issue.
EDIT: More details from the FAQ:
Q. Can someone accidentally change which card is selected on my Coin?
A. We’ve designed the button to toggle cards in a way that makes it difficult to trigger a "press" unintentionally. Dropping a Coin, holding a Coin, sitting on a Coin, or putting the Coin in a check presenter at a restaurant will not inadvertently toggle the card that is selected.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoThat pretty much rules out a lot of ATMs, and all ATMs I've seen outside of the US.
- bitJericho 13y agoSurely you'll get a waiter that will be curious and intentionally press the button... then what do you think happens?
- fatbat 13y agoMy thoughts exactly. I feel like there should be some sort of locking mechanism tied to toggling.
- glennericksen 13y agoSeems straight-forward to disable toggling when the card is out of range from your phone.

- thatthatis 13y agoWait, is it easy to toggle cards or hard to toggle cards? I don't think you can have it both ways.
- tedivm 13y agoMy phone, like many others, has a simply way to lock it so it doesn't accidentally call it. That doesn't make it difficult to make phone calls, it just makes it difficult to accidentally make phone calls. I can imagine multiple ways they can handle this, all of them fairly trivial.
- thatthatis 13y agoI didn't see any concept of locking in their video or faq. I hope you're right and that this either has that in v1 or is added in v2.
