It would probably make sense to have p.monomials() method to be
consistent with the multivariate case:

sage: R.<t,s> = QQ[]
sage: p = t^4 + 8
sage: p.coefficients()
[1, 8]
sage: p.monomials()
[t^4, 1]
sage: sum(c*m for c,m in zip(p.coefficients(), p.monomials()))
t^4 + 8

p.coeffs() might be better off renamed to something like
all_coefficients or dense_coefficients or ....
