What is the purpose and/or advantage of the Double Layer Mechanical Stage?

The double layer mechanical stage actually means the stage will give movement of the slide to both horizontal and longitudinal directions.

Is it suitable for examining coins?

No. This microscope is for object you can shine light THROUGH. You would need a stereoscope for coins.

is this microscope good for looking at soil organisms? im looking for flagelletes protozao microbes...if anyone know the answer to this please tell

It's perfectly fine. Just suspend some soil in water, put on a coverslip, and you are in business. It's no different from any other microscope--and its optics are surprisingly good. Besides flagellates, you will find a variety of other organisms, eggs of various species, fungi, ciliates, amebas and more.

Has anyone used the 2000x magnification? How clear is the image?

I found it comparable in clarity to the same magnification in the microscopes at our University's labs. I observed motile bacilli & cocci in a droplet of yogurt the first time I tried it out, and the focus was quite clear. I don't think the visual field is quite as large as larger microscopes (like the ones in the lab) but it's not really noticeable.
