Measuring the volume of pennies by their displacement requires that only water actually displaced by the pennies is measured. Unless the water was at the very top of the cylinder both before and after the pennies are added, splashed water will make the measurement invalid.

Because surface tension forms a curved surface at the top of the water, it is advisable to have the cylinder only partly filled, and measure the level at the same part of the curved water surface both before and after the pennies are added. This will improve the accuracy of measurement.

How can you calculate the thickness of 1 penny in millimeters?

You can get a stack of pennies, measure the height of the stack and then divide by the number of pennies. You can also get the thickness by treating the penny as a cylinder, calculating the area of the face of the penny, then putting a whole lot of them in water, measuring the change of volume to get the total volume of all pennies, then divide by the number of pennies and divide again by the area of the penny to get the thickness.

How many pennies to make a centamiter?

A centimeter is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter, while a penny is a coin worth one cent. Therefore, to convert one cent into pennies, you would need 1 penny since a penny is already equal to one cent. Thus, there's no direct correlation between the measurement of length in centimeters and the value of pennies.
