According to Webster...

Main Entry: cou·pon
Pronunciation: 'kü-"pän, 'kyü-
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Old French, piece, from couper to cut --

So it appears that both are correct pronunciations. I use coo ('kü)

the owner of our company says COO-pin. I've always said Q-pon, but find I say COO-pon more nowadays.
