Silent nerf?

Is it just me, or has the chance to get coins decreased? Even when I do the final merge, I only get 32 yen, which is clearly a downgrade, right? The money you get when progressing through quests is also on a different scale. However, I feel like the macaron stacking competition is more forgiving than before. Before, the matchmaking was so loose that the level differences were too big to stack anything.
