I think that is a pretty important aspect considering that CoinMap seems 
to be pretty popular in the Bitcoin community. But if users end up going 
to restaurants where they can't pay with Bitcoin and the owner does not 
even know what Bitcoins are they are going to be get frustrated and use 
alternative services. Which then also means that there is less 
initiative for business owners accepting Bitcoin to make sure they are 
(correctly) listed on OpenStreetMap.

Considering CoinMap has 4000+ listing (according to some recent 
articles) then 700 wrong listings are a significant amount of bad data 
(assuming most of the stores do indeed not accept Bitcoin at they 
physical location).

PS: I honestly didn't even consider the overall legal aspect of this.
