The coins are an optional way to show bids and tricks. Each player takes one coin per bid and sets them in front of them where everyone can see. A coin goes on top of each trick won, so the coins still in front show how many tricks the player still needs. A trick taken beyond the bid gets no coin, which marks an overtrick. The Deluxe bidding wheels do the same job.
