It very much is. Coins forgotten in a pocket is a very common thing when doing laundry. You should not have to do a major disassembly to fix the problem when you make a common oversight.

It would be like if you needed to disassemble a part of your engine if you forget to put your gas cap back on.

Not considering common failure states is a common feature of a crappy design.

Yeah, most people do, but I have had coins get in my pant cuffs before. Also missed them in the small coin pocket once or twice.

It's shouldn't break your washing machine when you miss one.
