Not necessarily weird. Tapping in and out at gated stations ensures that a ticket can only be used once. At ungated stations, I suppose it depends if you have a good story to tell any ticket inspectors about why you tapped in 5 hours ago...

By the way, the machines accept a maximum of 36 coins per purchase. Once you have inserted that many, the machine hangs for about 10 seconds and then spits all your coins back out at a rate of 1 coin every 1.5 seconds.

10c is the smallest coin accepted.
