No coins or notification: Do I need to do something to get earned coins?
I just had a snorlax return from defending a gym for “1d 1h 33m”, but I didn't get any notification or coins. I only noticed when checking the gym badge list that my snorlax had been defeated. I checked my shop screen and my coin total hadn't changed though, and looking at my snorlax in my collection didn't do or show me anything. I can't find any buttons or indicators at all.
I do see entries in my journal for my snorlax returning (and for a rhydon that was defeated on the 23rd), but experimentally poking these entries didn't do anything.
Confused, I did some Googling and reading about the Gym Update after getting back home, but every source I've found (including Can I still earn coins in-game?) indicates that I should have received coins via a notification of some kind. I checked just now and have push notifications turned on in the Pokémon Go game settings, and my iPhone's notification centre settings has all permissions turned on for Pokémon Go, so I'm not sure where the notification went or where my coins went. There's nothing in the iOS pulldown notification screen for Pokémon Go.
Is there something else I need to do to enable coin-earning or a screen somewhere I need to use to go collect my coins? Is there a daily delay? Is it just a really unfortunate bug? (I know it's only 50 coins, but it does feel like there's little point in defending gyms while it's like this.)

Now that Pokemon gradually lose CP as they spend time in a gym, it is possible (likely) that your Pokemon returned after their CP was reduced to zero.
This would result in your Pokemon never having defended the gym, and thus you would receive no coins.

Why did I not get coins when my Pokemon return?
Additionally, if your Pok\xe9mon has been in a Gym for several days, they will only provide 50 coins in total when they come back to you. This also means that, if other Pok\xe9mon come back to you on that same day, you won't receive any more Coins - as you've already hit the cap for that day.How long do you have to hold a gym to get coins?
Quick bit of maths: Currently you earn 1 Pok\xe9coin every 10 minutes you defend a gym, up to a maximum of 50 coins per day. This equates to 8.33 hours of defending a gym per day for the daily cap of 50 coins. Under the new system, you will earn 1 Pok\xe9coin every 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 55 coins per day.How do you claim poke coins?

Answer 2
"You can redeem a maximum bonus of 50 PokéCoins per day. Once you've reached the daily limit of 50 PokéCoins, you won't earn any more PokéCoins until the next day. If you have more than one Pokémon return from Gyms in a single day, the maximum bonus for the day is still limited to 50 PokéCoins. If a Pokémon returns after multiple days in a Gym, the maximum bonus for the day is still limited to 50 PokéCoins."
