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.
An aluminum coin (for example the 1 yen coin) will float on water due to the surface tension of water.
no
No
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.
i think it does not sure
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
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.
The penny is made out of copper.
No, no US coin is light enough to float when dropped in water.

No, it sinks.
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
Copper has a density of about 8.96 g/cm3 and don't float on 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.
It will sink.

put water in the mixture, the wood will float and the copper will sink. :D
No, a coin can not float on gasoline.
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
