random variables - Probability of having at least one coupon out of N types

I'm facing a question regarding random variables:




A coupon website has N distinct kinds of coupons. Each selection of a
coupon is equally likely and selections are independent. Let T be a random variable representing the number of
coupons, n, that one should collect until he has at least one coupon
of every kind.





I need to determine the probability function P(T=n). How should I approach this question?
