Original Note:
A Coin would definitely NOT derail a train. It would most likely flatten or fall, The experiment has been carried out years ago multiple times. https://www.technology.org/how-and-why/is-it-safe-flatten-a-penny-on-train-track/ https://www.scienceabc.com/pure-sciences/can-a-coin-placed-on-the-tracks-derail-a-train.html Although one should keep in mind that it's illegal to do so as the coin may become projectile and harm people standing around it.
