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.

To determine if something is more dense than water:

  • If it floats it's as dense, or less dense than water.
  • If it sinks it's more dense than water.
