    Assuming the 2x2 is cardboard, then I think so. But then again I got a D in high school Chemistry...

    Or is that Physics? image

    But what if it is a self stick 2x2 then you have the adhesive which might break down as it gets wet. So then the coin might sink while the holder stays afloat - at least for a while.

    Maybe the OP was talking about simply floating in mid air and not water? image

    For anything to float on water, it needs to weigh less than the amount of water that it displaces.
