Hmm... Is eating the coin of the Realm a capital offence or a required sign of obeisance? If the latter, there may be a problem if the microcooler is ingested by the loyal subjects resulting in a frozen populace. (However, such a device might be very useful to combat SHUMs during the "trick or treat" season...)
(It also makes it difficult to dissolve coins in ZCDs to make black-market ZCPs, though montsmags Enterprises might consider that a significant advantage, unless the micro-cooler can be set to a suffient delay so that, when submerged, the coin dissolves and then the cooler kicks in to generate a chilled ZCP.)
I'd also be worried about a critical mass of coins triggering a heat/cooling feedback loop resulting in a climatically catastrophic temperature gradient resulting in monsoons and lightning storms. (I'm not convinced such weather conditions are to her majesty's liking.)
Are you sure we can't just get Marc to modify the laws of thermodynamics, or something?
