Depends. Are the 11 coins identical, or are there 11 different coins (dates, denominations, country of origin, etc.)? Do the order in which the stacks are created matter, i.e., is a stack of 2, stack of 3, and stack of 6 from left to right the same or different from a stack of 6, stack of 3, and stack of 2?

Repost with all the parameters. If you don't know, ask your instructor or make a decision on your own. Don't expect us to guess what you mean.
