A question was submitted by user929304 titled:
Balance of a spinning coin

This question is about the case of rolling motion, as in, for instance, rolling down an incline. So you see a coin rolling over, say, the floor of a corridor, and it just keeps going.

Another case is the one of a coin that isn't going anywhere; it is made to spin in place.

Those are distinct cases, yet John Rennie and Qmechanic have closed the question about a rolling coin, labeling it as duplicate of the spinning-in-place case.

I don't have enough reputation points yet to submit this for reversal of the mislabeling, so I'm reporting it here.

(I noticed the mislabeling because I had written an answer)

    $\begingroup$ Some general advice -- if a question is marked as duplicate and it shouldn't be, it is likely because something in your question was not clear enough to make it obviously distinct from the suggested duplicate. So, take the opportunity to edit your question to clarify it so there cannot be any misunderstandings. A side benefit -- doing this will put it into a review queue so it could be reopened. $\endgroup$
