They're heavier than water is.

The density of the metal is greater than water. The density is the weight per volume. Any material that has a greater density of 62.5 pounds per cubic feet (1000 kg per cubic meter) will sink.

Why do coins sink?

Coins sink because they lack the buoyancy to float. Their density is higher than that of the water and their shape does not allow them to displace enough water to be buoyant before sinking.

Why do ships float while coins sink?

Ships float because they displace enough water to create an upward force called buoyancy that is greater than their weight. Coins sink because they are denser than water and therefore displace less water than their own weight.


Would a coin float or sink?

A coin typically sinks in water because it is more dense than water. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, while most common coins have a higher density, causing them to sink.


Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of Styrofoam of a similar size and shape floats?

Coins are denser than water. Styrofoam is less dense than water.


Is a coin denser than water?

Yes, most coins are denser than water. The density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while the density of most coins, such as copper or silver, is greater than that. This means that a coin will sink in water.
