The polynomials having coefficients in {0,1} are enumerated at A206073. They include the following:

p(1,x) = 1

p(2,x) = x

p(3,x) = x + 1

p(4,x) = x^2

p(2229,x) =1 + x^2 + x^4 + x^5 + x^7 + x^11= (1+x)*f(x), where f(x) = 1 - x + 2 x^2 - 2 x^3 + 3 x^4 - 2 x^5 + 2 x^6 - x^7 + x^8 - x^9 + x^10. This show that a factor of p(2229,x) has a factor that has 3 as a coefficient. Actually, 2229 is the least n for which p(n,x) has a coefficient not in {-2,-1,0,1,2}.

The enumeration scheme for all nonzero polynomials with coefficients in {0,1} is introduced in Comments at A206073. The sequence A206073 itself enumerates only those polynomials that are irreducible over the ring of polynomials having integer coefficients; therefore, A206073 and A208181 are disjoint.
