Man.. i have not even been able to play yet but already knew how this worked! 
Use one consumable and kill the Ultra.. if you don't get a drop, use one again and the percentage will be higher for a drop to happen. 
Rinse and repeat as much as you want until you get the drops you want. ONE AT A TIME!
Stacking 5-10 or whatever does not increase the chance on that run! It has the same effect as using just one coin! 
Don't waste them people!
Edit - after using around 70 three of coins one by one , I have now got all of the new guns. Missing just the heavy year 2 weapons. Done well with armour to although had the Stag and Alpha Lupi 4x each!!! I am getting an engram drop around 5-8 goes each time.

	8 RepliesI heard the stacking made the buff higher. Where did you get your info from? Did Bungie state as much somewhere? If so I wasted a shit ton already. Damn it.

	If you use more than one it does stack but statistically you are significantly better of using them one by one there is a reddit thread were on guy used about 300 of these getting the odds down packed
