How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurement of the same volume of water?

Definition of Precision: Referring to how close a group of measurements are to each other.
Accuracy: Refers to how close the measurement is to the true or accepted value.
If the volume of the water was 20 L and I measured it wrong one and got 19, measured it again and got 19, and then measured it a third time and got 19, that would be a PRECISE measurement, since you got the same result three times in a row. It's INACCURATE because it isn't the CORRECT measurement.
Hope that helped!

A single coin will not change the water level in the graduated cylinder enough to give a precise measurement of its volume. why was it possible to modify the experiment to use several coins?
Because when you put dozen of coins water level will change enough to mesaure it, then volume you got by such mesauring should be divided by number of coins. that way you will get volume of single coin.
