As John said, you have more of a cross-tab than a fully normalized table. But I understand that that wasn't you point. You can do this with a query if the types of coins is fixed:

SELECT studentid, studname,
SUM(IIF(coins = '1', qty, 0)) AS 1_Dollar,
SUM(IIF(coins = '2', qty, 0)) AS 2_Dollar,
SUM(IIF(coins = '5', qty, 0)) AS 5_Dollar,
SUM(IIF(coins = '10', qty, 0)) AS 10_Dollar
FROM badtable
GROUP BY studentid, studname
ORDER BY studentid
