0 Guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Perhaps if you created a pressure difference by heating the bottle the cork would be popped out by the difference - thus you didn't pull it out. Or, keeping with the heating theme, you could heat the bottle to the melting point thus getting the coin without breaking the bottle or pulling the cork.
