Paper is flexible enough to wrap around them, but strong enough not to stretch. The thickness of the paper can be added to the diameter of the coin. It can be unwrapped and measured after straightening with minimal distortion.

It doesn't matter if the ruler is not perfectly accurate. As long as its grading is consistent, and we're measuring the diameter of the object and the length of the paper with the same ruler, the results will be consistent.

At a circumference of 100 mm the difference between 3.2 and 3.14... is almost 2 mm. That is easy to see by naked eye.
