I'm curious about a hypothetical situation. If I were to stack coins one by one, how many coins would it take for me to reach the moon? I'm wondering if there's a way to calculate this based on the average thickness of a coin and the distance to the moon.

Next, we need to convert the diameter of the coin from centimeters to meters.
