How many sides does a coin have?

I say three sides.

Speaking of coins I got a Canadian nickel the other day. Soda machine wouldn't even take it.

Nothing pisses you off more when you're going to get that ice cold Mt.Dew and you find out your nickel is Canadian

2 and an edge.

 

[Bucky Badger]

1 side, a top and a bottom

A cylinder has 2 bases and 1 curved surface, no vertices and technically does not have any edges.
Because a cylinder has a curved surface, it is technically not a polyhedron. The terms "faces" and "edges" only apply to polyhedra which have flat surfaces, straight edges and vertices.

none

 

[Joniki]

None. It has a front, a back, and an edge.

Tell me about it.

I guess there are technically no sides on a coin, but I'll say several dozen (at least 4 dozen) sides because of all the grooves on the side.

Just doing my part to help this thread get to four pages...

Ya know something I love about this forum? We could have a 4 page thread over how many sides a coin has.

Sometime when I'm bored, I may waste some time and count all of the ridges on a quarter.

I seriously hope you Googled that

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Thanks Magnethead. Since a quarter has 119 ridges, and we assume each ridge has two sides, that's 238 sides before adding the head and tail sides.

So my final answer is 240.

How dare you bring facts onto racing-forums.com

 

[Benevolent One]

I say it has 3 sides, just like every story.
