pronunciation note for coupon

Coupon, related to cope and coup, is of French origin. It has developed an American pronunciation variant

[kyoo-pon] /ˈkyu pɒn/ with an unhistorical y -sound not justified by the spelling. This pronunciation is used by educated speakers and is well-established as perfectly standard, although it is sometimes criticized. Its development may have been encouraged by analogy with words like curious, cupid, and cute, where c is followed by a “long u ” and the [y] /y/ is mandatory.
