I ran the Nightfall twice tonight. First time got a 316 exotic which I was happy with, while my friend got 2 strange coins. TWO STRANGE COINS. This nightfall was probably the hardest in a while too... At least for the first time going through it.
Second time through, I was the one who got 2 strange coins. Is this a glitch? 2 strange coins is a ridiculously bad reward for that tier of activity. If proof is needed I took a screenshot, which I'll find if it's needed.
Edit:
So clearly, Nightfall rewards can be bad, it's no secret. How bad should they be allowed to be?
I think 2 strange coins is just kinda ridiculous. Anything less than a legendary engram I think is too bad.
If you get strange coins it should be enough to buy an exotic from Xur with.
If you get three of coins you should get enough to net you at least one exotic drop, so probably 6 at the least.
That is what my take on the Nightfall reward situation would be, if people disagree then that's fine, I'd like to know why though just coz I like knowing what everyone thinks. (studying game art/design so I'm interested in these things.)

One peson on my team got 20 strange coins, where I only got 2 blue engrams.
