This Pro-tip is so pro that I don't even understand (Destiny)

Is this new 2.0 stuff? You can trade coins into faction leaders for heavy ammo synths and it increases faction XP?

You can buy heavy ammo synths from Xur for cheap. Then there is a material donation section in with the factions for you to donate stuff for rep with them.

This is the last week of the nightfall XP buff (as far as we know). When you trade in 1 Heavy Ammo Synth you get 25 rep (31 with nightfall buff).

If you are close to leveling up a faction to 25 then this is the best week to do it. At level 25 you are eligible to start the faction quest line which will yield you an exotic class item for your chosen faction.

Or if you are really trying for a shader or ship from a faction, then you can do it for cheap this week.

edit: This is still older gear, but not the Taken King gear until after Tuesday.
