What happens when you drop a silver dollar and a double eagle gold coin from a ten meter tower?

The same thing that happened when Galileo dropped two different size balls from the Tower of Pisa: except for a tiny and almost unmeasurable difference due to air resistance, the two objects hit the ground at the same time. That's because gravity acts on all objects equally to give them the same acceleration (9.8 m/s2) regardless of their mass.
You can use the standard formulas relating distance, time, initial velocity, and acceleration to compute how long it would take the coins to reach the ground, and how fast they'd be going.
velocity: vf = v0 + at
position: xf= x0 + v0t + at2/2 (which is of course nothing more than the indefinite integral of the velocity formula)
