What are the surfaces on the coin?
You have the front, the back and the rim. The front and back are the same -- just the area of a circle.
The rim (side) can be found using formulas for surface area of cylinders. OR, in this case, you can mentally "unroll" the side. Imagine making a vertical cut and then unrolling. What do you end up with?
Right, you end up a rectangle with sides of 1.45mm and the circumference of the circle making up the front/back.
Net, you have three areas

The area of a circle is given by . we are given the diameter, so we need to divide by 2 to get the radius.
The area of a rectangle is given by . We are given the width and need to calculate the length. The length is just the circumference. Circumference is given by .
Now you have everything you need.
