Becuase the coin is heavier then what the water can hold
A coin will generally sink in water due to its density being greater than that of water.
A coin sinks in water because it is denser than water. The weight of the coin is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink.
The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.
no, it will float on the surface
The general rule is that an object will sink if it has a greater density than the liquid in which it is placed.
Think of the coin as a cylinder. The volume is the area of the base X the height. The area of the base is Pi X radius squared. So if you know the radius or the diameter of the coin, which you can measure, and the height which you can also measure, than PiXr2Xh will give you the volume.
Lol if you want to know the way it sinks, drop it in a cup of water. If you want to know why it sinks, its because the coin is far more dense then the water making it sink. The reason it is more dense ia because the molecules that make up the coin are much more compact, while the molecules that make up the water are spread apart.

To find the circumference of any circular surface all you have to do is multiple pi by the diameter; henceforth, the circumference is 6.1544 cm. 1.96 cm x pi(3.14) = 6.1544 cm
A coin typically sinks in water because it is more dense than water. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, while most common coins have a higher density, causing them to sink.
Because a coin is more dense than water, while styrofoam is not.
