If the large tube, that is the sink drain from the other side and the gasket may be bad. The small tube that slopes up is for a dishwasher drain to hook to. A new disposal has this hole plugged until needed. If a dishwasher has been removed or disconnected, the little tube needs to be capped.

There is a dime lodged tightly in my garbage disposal on the side. Is there a way to get it out?

On the bottom of the disposal in the center there is a hex, 6 sided hole. A tool came with the disposal to use in this to unjam the disposal. It may be under the sink somewhere or you can use a regular hex wrench. Insert the wrench and wiggle it back and forth. Don't put too much pressure on it, just back and forth. You may be able to back it out of the spot it is in.
