Like a coin...there are actually 3 sides.
Assuming that you are referring to a round shaped Coin, then, ...Like a Coin...there are actually 4 sides.  Thumb1:

If the coin is rotating ( rolling) North.... there is a right side ( east) and a left side ( west) ...  Thus a coin has only two sides.

A solid cylinder has three sides. Top, bottom and side.

A coin is just a very short cylinder, therefore it has three sides.

I assume you are going to say it has an outside and an inside, but if it is solid there isn't any inside.

Everything solid has an inside.

If you snapped your solid cylinder in two, then the two broken pieces would now consist jointly of 8 sides in total, ie, 6 outsides plus 2 separate insides created from the one original inside, by the snapping of the cylinder.

Wrong, whilst it has an "inside", a solid object doesn't have a "side" inside it.

Maybe we should flip a coin to see who is correct. (Heads I win, tails you lose.)
