Yes, it is possible to melt a coin as most coins are made of metal. However, it is not recommended to do so as destroying currency is illegal in many countries. Additionally, the melting point of the metal will determine how easy or difficult it is to melt the coin.
You as a human cannot melt from heat. The worse thing is that you might get burnt. EXP: An ice cube will melt in heat...I don't think you're an ice cube!! :)
Water can melt if it transitions from a solid state, such as ice, to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. The term "melt" refers to the change in physical state from solid to liquid, regardless of the initial form.
Ice starts to melt at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
It takes approximately 64,000 Joules of energy to melt 1kg of gold. Therefore, to melt 2kg of gold, you would need around 128,000 Joules of energy.

Yes, it is legal to melt down silver coins for scrap. Many coin dealers and jewelry stores will buy them from you at melt prices along with refiners. The only coins illegal currently to melt down in the US are pennies and nickels. Silver coins were illegal to melt down before a lot of copper-nickel coinage was circulating but it is legal now.
No it's not illegal to do this.

In the US, it is illegal to melt down nickels ( and technically half dimes, but the collector value of half dimes exceed their melt value) and pennies. All other denominations can be melted, though, in the current market, the only legal to melt coins that would bring a profit if melted down would be the silver coins which can easily be resold on the open market for a higher profit just selling the coins to investors than paying someone to refine the silver.
The value of gold coins can be determined in two different ways--the melt-down value and the coin value. The melt-down value is the value of the pure gold in the coins, which is determined by the weight. The face value of the coins can be found on a collector's website.
It depends on what coin you have. Different denominations are different sizes and made of different materials and then have a different melt value.
No, all denominations of US coins are legal to melt, except for pennies and nickels. However, most US gold carries a high premium over melt value and it is generally more economical to sell silver coins to a coin dealer because most of them are running out of inventory and will pay a lot of money for them and you won't have to worry about refiner fees.
In most countries, melting down of legal tender is illegal.
Vapour.Notes would burst into flames, whereas coins would melt.
Not really, except for the melt value of whatever metals they contain.
