Lol if you want to know the way it sinks, drop it in a cup of water. If you want to know why it sinks, its because the coin is far more dense then the water making it sink. The reason it is more dense ia because the molecules that make up the coin are much more compact, while the molecules that make up the water are spread apart.

Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of styrofoam of a similar size and shape float?
The coin has a greater density than water. Styrofoam has less density than water. It's as simple as that.
Does a coin sink faster in pure water than it does in sea water?
Yes, a coin does sink slightly faster in pure water than it does in sea water. The dissolved salts in sea water make the water denser, and as a result, objects immersed in sea water will experience greater buoyancy than they do in fresh water.

Why pi so coin will sink?

Why does a coin sink while a piece of styrofoam of a similar shape and size floats?
Because a coin is more dense than water, while styrofoam is not.
does a coin sink or float?
The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.
Why does a coin sink but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
