is it normal (or safe) for guinea pigs to be eating white paper (coupon bond)?

Guinea pigs will eat anything!!! There is no need to worry though, nothing will happen to your guinea pigs(s). My past and present nine piggies constantly ate/eat paper. Nothing has ever happened to them related to the paper.

I dont recommend it. but a small amount should not be harmful. Many type of paper are treated with various chemicals in the paper making process. I have even heard of people feeding old newspaper to livestock before, as fibre & filler to food suppliments.

They usually do not eat it, but chew it and rip it up (they're rodents, it's good for their teeth)
a small amount will be alright just in case the paper has been treated with chemicals

Probably not :-/
Go to the pet store and buy them a nibble stick or some wooden chew toys.
