The solution is to store your money on a wallet where you do not have the private key. This way if you cannot access your funds nobody will be able to coerce you.

Their solution to that is "rot in jail for a long time, then".

Demonstrating that if you wait long enough (14 years in that case), you can get away without loosing the funds, even from the state?
> On July 10, 2009, Chadwick was ordered released from prison by Delaware County Judge Joseph Cronin, who determined his continued incarceration had lost its coercive effect and would not result in him surrendering the money.
His finances are gonna be under close inspection for the rest of his life, and fourteen years is a lot to lose.

In that case the obvious move from the 5$ wrench perspective is to hit you with it until you tell them where the private key is kept, because you would need to have it somewhere.
The key must exist somewhere and the wrench may make you reveal that information instead.
What 5 dollar wrench wielder is going to believe that, even when it's true?
