You know when the other golfer replaces his ball with a coin? What happens
if the other guy makes his putt but it bumps into the coin?

The ball goes somewhere other than where the golfer likely
intended...the first putter should ask the person placing the coin (or
other marker) to the left or right so that doesn't happen.

I don't recall anybody ever doing this when the marker is past the
hole. Because they don't care if they hit the marker except when the
marker messes up the shot.

This fits in perfectly. I was unaware of the rule before hand so
instead of a 1 stroke penalty, the player who did not mark his ball
recieves a 2 stroke penalty. This is only true if (as the rule states)
both balls already lie on the putting green.
So, during stroke play, mark your ball on the green or risk a 2 stroke
penalty.

You still have the player wrong -- it's the player whose ball _strikes_
the unmarked ball that incurs the two stroke penalty in stroke play.
You're getting closer each time, though.

One of the most misunderstood rules. Maybe OB & lateral hazard round out
the top three.

If your putted ball hits someones coin... you play your ball whereever
it winds up (hopefully in the cup) and I beleive replace the coin where
it was if it moved.

Rule 19-5 is the correct rule:
a. At Rest
If a player's ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped
by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it
lies. In match play, there is no penalty. In stroke play, there is no
penalty unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke,
in which case the player incurs a penalty of two strokes.
In the situation I described, both balls were on the putting green
prior to my putt. Therefore, the person I was playing with should have
palyed his ball where it lied (after it was deflected by my putt), and
given himself a 2 stroke penalty.

No. The player ( putter) is assessed the penalty, and the ball that
was struck by his putt is replaced in it's original position. Rule
18-5.

And how does that fit with what you said previously:
----------------------------------------
I think the reason for putting down the coin to 'mark your ball' is
because if your ball was there instead of the coin/marker then you
would recieve a 1 stroke penalty.

In one case it knocked the ball back on line and into the hole, it saved

I think the reason for putting down the coin to 'mark your ball' is
because if your ball was there instead of the coin/marker then you
would recieve a 1 stroke penalty.
So, I assume that if you play by the rules (which is something that I
believe in) then you are only doing what you should do while your ball
is on the green (and closer than others in your group) and marking your
ball. If you mark your ball and somebody else hits your ball marker,
then that is how the ball rolls. Exactly as the previous poster
correclty stated.
I learned this while I joined up with another golfer once. He did not
mark his ball, and I hit his ball with my first putt. I said "what is
the rule on that ?" and he replied "that is a penalty on me", but he
gave himself an incorrect par after making his putt.
I do not know the exact rule, but hopefully somebody else does. I
would like to know what the rulebook officially says about this.

It's Rule 19-5 and your understanding of it is incorrect.

if a ball is between your ball and the cup, and it is likely to be hit,
then you mark the
spot with a coin, and with a tee mark the spot in a lateral fashion.
then pick up the coin.

Usually, the ball hops into the air a bit. Not always--it depends on
whtehre it's a dime or a quarter, and how well the coin has been pressed
into the green.

Usually the ball changes direction slightly.
In rare cases, the coin changes position too.
In case you were looking for a useful answer, the ball is played
as it lies because nothing in the Rules tells the player to do
anything other than that.

While correct that "should" is a recommendation and "must' is a requirement,
the real difference is "should" is without penalty and "must" is with
penalty. The practical effect is "should" and "must" have equal weight in
the ROG.
Decision 20-1/16 states that the Note in ROG 20-1 (placing a marker or small
coin behind the ball ) is a recommendation of best practice. Any best
practice of the USGA is a "must" without penalty in my book.
Anytime you are playing in a tournament with serious money or prestige at
risk, splitting the "must" and "should" nit is a shit throwing contest
waiting to happen.

Just to clarify, you have to mark the ball first, then move the marker
one (or more) putter head lengths. I have red ink on one side of my
marker and put that side up if I move the marker, that way I remember

Mark, Decision US/20-1/100 says that the player may measure
from the side of the ball rather than 'mark first and move
the marker.'

Tiger turns his marker over too. I bet he didn't do that in his
amateur days. It's a real good idea that I have decided to emulate.

I'm allergic to red ink, but fortunately nearly all my coins have a
heads side and a tails side, so I simply turn the heads side up for an
unmoved marker and the tails side up for a moved one.
