because when the coin is upright.. it acts like a cylinder and when it slightly lean to the left or right it acts like a cone ......... its because the rolling motion cancels out the pull of the gravity of its sides that's why when it lean.. as long as it have enough force to cancel out the pull of gravity it does not fall and it stays in the ground because the gravity pulls its center mass wich is not moving in its reference frame
