I would think a dime would sink too

The dime sinks but the waves can bring it back to the shore.
The ship also sinks, but since it's so much heavier, it gets stuck in the bottom of the ocean.

Anything which will sink in ocean has to be of greater density than da water of the ocean , the dime doesn't sinks as it has lower density when compared to that of ocean water , whereas a ship sinks as it's density is greater than water.

the dime wont sink because it has lower density than the ocean.
it will sink in fresh water, but not in the ocean because the ocean in salt water

I'm pretty sure the dime would sink, however, more generally, sinking (or floating) has to do with displacement, density, weight and volume. If an object weighs less than the volume of water it displaces, it will float, if more, the object will sink.

A dime sinks a ship doesn't because of buoyancy !

Who the hell told you a dime won't sink? And are you really that stupid to believe it?!! This must be our public education system at work!!
