The orb that the Janus Coin is in might not only allow the memories held within to be accessed, but by proxy allow the consciousness to keep existing. Janus was the god of beginnings and endings, after all, so perhaps his coin wouldn't hold onto memories forever. The orb, however, can tap into the spirit within the coin and awaken it, delaying the inevitable erasure of the memories.

Alternatively, the coin has different "accounts," and can sense if someone touching the coin has used it before. If so, only those memories are restored. If not, then memories are taken. So theoretically, if Anne Bonny was whammied by the coin, and then her living body showed up again today, she could access those memories.

I dunno. Either way works for me.
