Here is their description from the text:

They are well-dressed - hats, cloaks, sticks and all.
Each of them has a large leather money bag.
Guildenstern's bag is nearly empty.
Rosencrantz's bag is nearly full.

This suggests that they are trying to look like men of substance as they bet on a coin toss.
