If you're asking whether a copper penny would float in a glass of water, the answer is no. To be any more specific, you would need to supply more information such as the density of the liquid you're trying to float the copper on, the size and weight of the copper, the surface tension of the liquid, etc.

if the density of the water is higher than the copper the copper will float. but if its less than the copper it will sink.

Simple. Mercury is thicker than water, thereby it takes more weight or pressure to sink into it.

Copper is more dense than water so a piece of copper will sink and not float in fresh water.
