A coin can float on the water under a couple of circumstances. The most obvious is if it is made of a material lighter than water. And the second is if it is broad enough that it can be laid on the surface (carefully) and in such a way that the surface tension is not broken.

What chemical makes copper float?
If it is a thin, small piece of copper put it in water with soap and I think it will float Copper will float in Mercury. Copper will float in Uranium Hexafluoride but good luck getting your hands on any of that.
Does a copper wire float?

Does copper wire sink or float?
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
Why does water stick to copper pennies?
Water has two important qualities: cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion means that water "sticks" to itself, forming drops on a flat surface. Adhesion means that water sticks to other things, such as copper pennies. The water adheres to the coin and coheres to itself, forming a bulbous drop of water on the coin.

Does copper have density?
Copper has a density of about 8.96 g/cm3 and don't float on water.
Will copper float in fresh water?
Copper is more dense than water so a piece of copper will sink and not float in fresh water. However if the copper is formed into a container like shape similar to that of a boat it will stay on top of the water. For a better understanding of why, look up Archimedes Principle.
When you put a Coin in the water will it sink or float?
A coin will generally sink in water due to its density being greater than that of water.
