RNA polymerase does not use the coding strand as a template because a copy of any strand produces a base sequence complementary to the strand which is being copied.

As the RNA polymerase travels through the strand that is opposite to the coding strand (the cell wants a copy of the coding strand, so it needs to copy that from the DNA that is the opposite of the coding strand), ...

It is often referred to as the coding strand or the template strand. The other strand (the sense strand) is not used. Notice that the sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA except that mRNA has U instead of T.

Additionally, there is a strong correlation between purine excess and coding strand excess, evidenced most remarkably by E. coli and Methanococcus jannaschii, an archaebacterium.
