Is a coin more dense than water?

The formula for density is mass divided by volume. If the mass of something increases, the volume will increase by the same degree, so no, a coin (or any object) will not differ in density because it has a larger mass.


How does a coin sink?

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.
