Orcs Must Die 2 – Do Scavenger Trinkets Stack in Co-op?

orcs-must-die-2

In Orcs Must Die 2, the Scavenger Trinket gives all enemies a chance to drop coins; unlike the other trinkets which are only for the character using them (barring a few activated abilities) it applies for both characters in co-op play (since it doesn't really affect players).

The question is, in co-op play if both characters bring the Scavenger Trinket do you get double the chance of bonus coins, or is the 2nd Scavenger Trinket a waste?

EDIT: This is specifically about the passive boost from the Trinket. Testing with a buddy has determined how the active ability of the Trinket functions, see answer below.

According to a Robot Entertainment employee:

A little trinket design heads up.

Trinket passives apply to the owning player only while the active effect apply to both the owning and the coop player.

Example: The healing trinket only passively grants regeneration to the player that equips it but activating it will heal himself and their coop partner.

I did find a specific mention of the scavenger trinket having a unique property:

All Trinket Passives apply provided they are in your loadout, and only for you not your co-op partner. The only exception is Scavenger, So long as one of your traps added a combo point scavenger applies its passive effect even if the killing blow was dealt by your co-op partner.

All Trinket Active effects apply to both players.
