1) Take a graduated measuring flask (with volume markings dependent on the accuracy you need)
2) Fill the flask with water precisely to a known marking. Note the reading
3) Slowly add the coins to the flask making sure the water does not overflow the flask. (Otherwise you have to start with a new level). Also the water must fully submerge all the coins. (Otherwise you have to start with a new level). Now note the new reading. The difference between this volume reading and the initial volume reading gives the volume of the coins. If the coins are all similar, then the average volume of each coin can be calculated by dividing the volume you just calculated by the number of coins you put in the flask.

How do you calculate warehouse area from volume?
It is not possible to calculate the area given only the volume.
How do you calculate volume of 20m2?
You cannot calculate volume of surface area. If you meant 20m3, then the volume would be 20,000 litres.
How to calculate mass with volume and molarity?
Not enough information. To calculate mass, you would need volume and density (mass = volume x density).
How do you calculate volume if given bulk density?
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
How do you calculate volume for an irregular object?
Partition (or divide) the irregular object into summation of regular objects and then calculate the volume.
