The difference between the coding strand and the template strand is the coding strand is the strand which contains the coding genes, i.e. the one in which the RNA polymerase reads and transcribes into mRNA. It must have the promoter sequence in the correct orientation for transcription, as follows:
5`-TATAATGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGC-3`
3`-ATATTACGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCG-5`
In this sequence, the top strand is the coding strand, because it contains the promoter (TATAAT) in the correct orientation.
However, when transcribed, the mRNA will be as follows:
5`-GCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGC-3`
This is because the polymerase transcribes from the template strand, on the opposide side to the coding strand, to make it in the same orientation as the coding strand.
I hope I have explained it enough for people to understand, however if I haven't please read this article I found which explains it thoroughly:

What strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy or to make a complementary mRNA molecule-?
The template strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy during DNA replication, while the antisense (non-coding) strand is used as a template for complementary mRNA synthesis during transcription.
The strand of DNA that encodes the RNA molecule during transcription is the?
Template Strand
Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?
The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.
What strand of DNA would be prod from the template strand of DNA shown below?
The complementary strand of DNA to the template strand TACGGCTA would be ATGCCGAT.
What strand is the messenger rna complementary to?
mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA during transcription. The template strand serves as a template for mRNA synthesis, directing the formation of a complementary mRNA transcript.
What is the coding DNA and mrna strand for the template strand 3' a-g-g-t-t-c-a-t 5'?
The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand. Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.
What strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy or to make a complementary mRNA molecule-?
The template strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy during DNA replication, while the antisense (non-coding) strand is used as a template for complementary mRNA synthesis during transcription.

Semiconservative replication involes a template what is the template?
The template for semiconservative replication is the original DNA strand that serves as a guide for creating a new complementary strand. During DNA replication, each original parental strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new daughter strand.
What is important about the DNA template strand?
The template and non-template strands of DNA are complementary.This means that if a T (thymine)occurs on one strand, there must be an A (adenine) in that position on the other strand, and that C (cytosine) is always opposite G (guanine), following the rules of complementary base pairing.There are other names for the two strands, but Googling them shows there is a lot of confusion out there! The terms "template strand" and "non-template stand" seem to be the only ones that everyone uses consistently. The template strand is the strand along which messenger RNA is synthesized, and has, of course, a base sequence complementary to that of the RNA.The term "gene" is often applied to the non-template strand, the argument being that the non-template DNA strand and the mRNA have the same base sequence (except that where DNA has T, RNA has U, uracil).In transcription, RNAP uses template strand to make a copy of mRNA. Complementary to template strand is the coding strand, which sequence is identical to mRNA sequence except for the substitution of U for T. Although the coding strand is not used as a template for common transcription events, it is called coding because its sequence is used as a copy in mRNA sequence. For the case of "sense", terminologically template strand is called antisense, and coding strand is called the sense strand.Template/non-coding/antisenseNon-template/coding/senseMany people confuse complementary sequences with palindromic sequence which you can find in restriction system recognition sequences. Although the template strand yields a sense (functional) sequence in mRNA and thus a properly-folded protein, the complementary strand of it, non-template strand upon being transcribed yields a totally different and non-functional protein. However in terms of transcription of palindrome, both strands yield the same mRNA sequence, thus the same protein.Coding strand of a particular gene can be on one of either two strands of DNA, and thus this applies to the opposite strand of the said strand for the non-coding strand. The direction of transcription on a double-stranded DNA depends on whether the upper or lower strand is being transcribed. Therefore on a linearised genome, transcription occurs to the left for certain genes and to the right for the remaining genes.
What strand is the messenger rna complementary to?
mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA during transcription. The template strand serves as a template for mRNA synthesis, directing the formation of a complementary mRNA transcript.
Would there be a problem if the dummy strand were used to make a protein?
Yes, if the dummy strand, which is the non-template DNA strand, were used to make a protein, the resulting protein sequence would not correspond to the original DNA template sequence correctly. This would lead to a protein with a different amino acid sequence and potentially non-functional or misfolded protein.
How is the template strand for a particular gene determined?
The template strand for a gene is determined by the orientation of the gene within the DNA double helix. The template strand is the one that is read by RNA polymerase during transcription to create an mRNA molecule. It is complementary to the coding (non-template) strand and guide the synthesis of the mRNA molecule according to the genetic code.
What is the relationship between the template strand and the mRNA transcribed from it?
The template strand is used as a guide to create mRNA during transcription. The mRNA is complementary to the template strand and carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
