He also laughs at your gains anyway. I spent a -blam!- ton of time trying to get strange coins so I could get the Sunbreakers. And every time I turned a bunch of crap into him, I got uncommon weapons. And the kicker is as soon as Xûr left, he started throwing strange coins at me like I was a cheap date or a homeless person with an overturned hat. I appreciate the coins (in the long run), but his timing couldn't be worse.
