Let us assume the number of coins that need to be melted be n.

Then we can write :             

The volume of n coins   =   Volume of cuboid formed.

 n\left ( \pi r^2 h \right )\ =\ lbh'

 n\left ( \pi \times \left ( \frac{1.75}{2} \right )^2\times 0.2 \right )\ =\ 5.5\times 10\times 3.5

n\ =\ 400

Thus the required number of coins is 400.
