PSet1 - Coins issue
There's a semi-colon after your for loop, so it's simply ignoring the body. Remove that and you should be good.
You can do this without a loop. Think about how you would approach this if you were to ...

incompatible integer to pointer conversion initializing 'char *' with an expression of type 'int'
The function atoi returns an integer. You're assigning it to a variable of type char *. Change it to int key to fix.

I guess you want to write:

PSET2 Vigenere: Control may reach end of non-void function error
You're right. The compiler just knows that there's a possibility of getting to the end of the code without seeing a return statement, so it's unhappy.

Keep getting this compile-time message: error: unused parameter 'argv' [-Werror,-Wunused-parameter]
Actually, no, you're not using argv[1].
int key = atoi("argv[1]");
By putting it in double quotes like that, you're telling the code to use the literal string "argv[1]" instead of the var. It ...

What does "using" a variable entail and why does this inconsistency come up? (pset1, greedy, general question)
The root of this problem lies in the order of operations. In C, postfix increment (++) binds more tightly than dereference (*). Thus, what the code *coins++; does is not to dereference coins and then ...
