Bingo. And I'm still not sure if there was a limit to the number of coins issued per store, but somehow they did at least keep track of who preordered at the Smash-Fest event, or at least on the day of the event. I got there 15 minutes before store opening today and there were about 10 people in front of me in line for Smash. Someone asked an employee walking in about the coin, and they said only people who preordered at Smash-Fest would be getting coins. Inside, we had to show them our preorder receipt and photo ID. They had a shelf full of copies of Smash behind the pick up counter, each one with a sticker on it with the name of each person who would be receiving a coin. So if your name didn't match the name on one of those sticker-ed copies of Smash they had, you weren't on their list and you didn't get a coin. They were also definitely enforcing the one coin per customer rule.
