1. Don't do any message interactions. Close all pop-up windows, message boxes, etc. You can get to those after you've fixed your balance.
2. Visit a few community members (NOT neighbors, the FIRST tab in the Social menu), enough for the screen to repopulate (loading...) the community members, generally 3-4
3. Go back to your store.
When that doesn't work, I've been lucky enough that items in my catalog are ready. Somehow, my catalog always has the right amount if the "cosmetic" display shows something different and IT'S THE SAME SESSION where I logged in and got the extra coins. If I log out or don't have anything to buy before my coins set themselves to the correct value, then I'm locked into the "cosmetic" display.
Either way, once your coins reset to the higher amount, exit immediately. You can then go back in and do all your re-gifting and requests.
Sad that I have to QA a game that's already been released, but glad I can get a workaround most times.
