Hmm, not really. For instance, I can balance a salt shaker on its edge on a flat table. I won't say how, but i can.

4 coins each direction.
I don't think that's possible...
I think you're taking my notion of a slight bend to the extreme

how are they lined up as such without a manipulation of the dimensions as is?
aah does it involve stacking a coin atop another?

No, it involves redefining "Line" to mean two coins in two rows that are both parallel.
There was no mention of a "line" there was mention of "direction".
