As a temporary solution I used _x / _y to move it out of the area...

And if you are working with AS2 you could have this.removeMovieClip() inside your coin's script which can be triggered after the hit test. Otherwise you need some manner of identifying the instance of the coin (like an array) and you could use removeMovieClip(instance).
