This line is equivalent to (#(println %) 2 3) which errors since
#(println %) takes only one argument.
user=> (macroexpand '#(println %))
(fn* [p1__3493] (println p1__3493))
Depending on what you were trying to achieve, you could have written:
(apply println [2 3]) ; same as (println 2 3)
(apply #(println %) [2 3] nil) ; same as (#(println %) [2 3]) or
(println [2 3])
(map #(println %) [2 3]) ; roughly equivalent to [(#(println %) 2)
(#(println %) 3)] or [(println 2) (println 3)]
(map println [2 3]) ; roughly equivalent to [(println 2) (println 3)]
(doseq [i [2 3]] (print i)) ; same as (do (println 2) (println 3))

See http://clojure.org/special_forms#toc4 "Map binding-forms [...]
consists of a map of binding-form-key pairs."
coin :coin is a binding-form-key pair while :coin coin is
key-binding-form pair.
Some pairs start with a keyword (:as, :or, :keys, :strs and :syms) but
they have a special meaning.
Hope this helps.
