Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of coins in all sets is 21, an odd number. In order for there to be equal numbers in all sets, the total number of coins must be even. Each step adds an even number of coins, so there is no number of steps that will add an odd number of coins to make the total be even.
