As obvious as it is to free souls, especially as Pala, I still think that the Soul Coins will have an important key function later in the game in the last act. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm speculating that one visits Avernus and then uses the coins for additional combat power (Mercs) or for magical devices necessary for locked gates etc. to progress further. Maybe you can also use them for a trade with Raphael? In any case, I think you can find and collect them at least all over the first two acts.
From that point of view, it might not be possible to destroy the Soul Coins, because it's game-deciding?
I can't remember the flavor text exactly. Is there exactly mentioned that it is about cursed souls. Couldn't it also have happened on a voluntary basis? For example, a clever Lich could use such a Soul Coin as this phylactery. Then a removed curse spell shouldn't work and in general he would be pretty hard to destroy permanently if no one knows the right one between several coins... I mean having a phylactery like that in a Soul Coin that is also hidden in a huge pile of coins makes it that much harder to destroy a Lich than if the phylactery were just hidden in a simple vase or something more obvious or an object that can be easily destroyed.
