Not able to control that.
The only real way to handle this is to do it the way electronic ticketing is handled. Barcode the coupon with a specific barcode, and then you've got to have a barcode reader connected to a database that knows whether or not a coupon has already been used. Certainly worthwhile for event tickets and gift certificates. Probably not worth it for a coupon to save $1 off a box of wheaties.
