Explanation: The calculation multiplies the quantity of coins by the weight of each coin to determine the total weight.
Details: Accurate weight calculation is important for coin collectors, banking operations, transportation logistics, and verifying the authenticity of coin collections.
Tips: Enter the number of coins and the unit weight per coin in grams. All values must be valid positive numbers.
