See more:

C#

Debug.Log("OnTriggerEnter() was called");
if (other.tag  == "Coin") {
    Debug.Log("Other object is a coin");
    score += 10;
    scoreText = "Score: " + score;
    Debug.Log("Score is now " + score);
    Destroy(other.gameObject);

There is always an error every time I put if(other.tag == "Coin") in c#

Where is the Java code?!!
And there is no such thing as "Java script".

The reason is probably that a Tag property is normally an object and an object is not a string, so you can't compare it with one.

Cast the Tag property to the class you are expecting, and use it then:

C#

string s = other.tag as string;
if (s != null & s == "Coin")
   ...
