Lay a ruler across the coin and make sure it measures from one edge through the center to the other edge. Read the diameter from the ruler.
A vernier caliper should be used to measure the diameter of a steel ball.
Yes, a calibrated ocular micrometer can be used to measure the diameter or length of a field or object. Essentially, that is all that it is used for.
It depends on the size of the coin!
Internal diameter.
The diameter of a penny (British decimal coin - 1p) is 20.3 millimetres. Therefore, other coins will also be measured in millimetres
Lay a ruler across the coin and make sure it measures from one edge through the center to the other edge. Read the diameter from the ruler.
You can measure the diameter, then divide that by 2.

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.

No, an ocular micrometer is used for measuring objects viewed through a microscope by comparing them to a scale etched onto the eyepiece. It is not designed to measure the diameter of a field of view.
