A lens with a focal length of 60mm to 100mm (APS-C sized) are great for macro Photography. An Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is useful in macro photography is it enables quick, quiet and accurate auto focusing. Image Stabilisation is unnecessary in macro lenses.

What are the advantages of a macro camera?
You could pair this word up with just about anything else except for "camera" (e.g. macro lens/shot/flash/capable/work/setting/photo etc.) To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "macro camera". If you're trying to determine what macro images are, this definition hails from the old days of film: it is an image where the ratio of the recorded image size to the actual object size is from 1:1 to 10:1. In other words, the image recorded on film is the same size as the object (1:1) or is up to 10x larger than the object. If you go beyond 10:1 you have branched into photomicrography. Anything less than 1:1 is "close up" photography.
What is the best digital camera setup for high quality macro photos of coins or other small items?
It depends on how good of picture quality you want. For highest quality I would get a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II DSLR Camera along with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens. If you can not get very close to your subject you might want to go with a Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 L USM Macro Lens. The best setup would cost around 9,000 to 10,000 dollars. If you do not have a huge budget I would go with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. Which would run around 1500 dollars. Both setups would give you higher picture quality than of a point and shoot digital camera.

What kind of lens should you get for a Nikon D60 if you want to photograph small things like insects?
A dedicated macro lens is the best choice - something like the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED would be a good first macro lens on a D60. A general purpose zoom with a macro setting would be an acceptable second choice. If you have a telephoto lens, you can use it as a macro lens by adding an extension tube. This lets you focus closer than you normally could with that lens, but you can't focus out to infinity with an extension tube. A "smart" tube that will let auto-focus and aperture work is fairly expensive, but still cheaper than a macro lens. Another alternative is to get a reversing ring and put a 50 mm lens on backwards over a medium telephoto lens. This can get you some incredible close-up shots but is tricky to use... you pretty much have to focus by moving the camera.
