Should you include it on your CV and/or in interview settings? Absolutely. As Nathan Ketsdever mentions, a certificate is a certificate. Many Coursera courses are supplied through very reputable individuals and educational facilities, info you should feel free to include if you completed the course successfully. Also consider spending the $$ to get the verified certificates (if offered), just to provide that extra little bit of credibility.
Whether/how much value your discussion partner(s) will assign to these certifications is impossible to answer... Despite the rapid growth in MOOCs, many will not yet be familiar or will not see them on equal footing with more traditional education/certification. On the flip side, you might get lucky and come across an interviewer who is not only aware of Coursera, Khan Academy, edX, etc. but sees them as the future of education. In that case it could actually function as an advantage.
So, in summary: definitely reference it (perhaps including details suggested by Nathan), whether it will be considered is anyone's guess.
