DA Jones:

There is a strong possiblilty that Ron and Hermione never used the coins.

How did Luna know? She might have just been there visiting or they went and
got her in some way other then the coin. Could they have sent her an owl and
told her to tell noone?

Anyway, this is my crazy theory. I'm sure everyone has there's.

Lynda:

In the pandomonium and hubbub of the DE attack on Hogwarts, Hermione might
not have had a chance to use the coins.  Stranger things than that have been
known to happen in non-fictional crises.  As for this not being mentioned
due to unreliable narrator, I don't think that's necessarily so.  It's
simply that if she used the coins, it wasn't mentioned in the text.  That's
not unreliable narrator. That's writer's prerogative in storytelling.  JMHO,
of course.
