The paper must touch the flame to ignite and undergo combustion, which is a chemical reaction between the paper's cellulose fibers and the oxygen in the air. This process releases heat and light, resulting in the visible flame. Without direct contact with the flame, the paper would not reach the necessary temperature to ignite. Additionally, the flame serves as the initial source of energy that facilitates the combustion process.

To burn a piece of paper why must the paper touch the flame?

Metals conductThe coin is made of metal or a metal alloy. Metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity. When you place the paper and coin directly over the flame, the coin conducts heat away from the paper. If the coin conducts heat away from the paper at least as fast as the flame adds thermal energy to the paper, it will not reach its flash point and will fail to ignite. It may not even scorch. If the coin, however, cannot dissipate the heat to the surrounding air and itself heats up, it will no longer act as an efficient conductor, and the paper will eventually burn.Though not nearly as much, I imagine it also has some to do with the slight lack of oxygen that is available with the coin over the paper.
