A coin a bottle and a cork

If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork in the bottle's opening, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

Hint (scroll over this text): Actually, people solve this riddle everyday. Let's say you're opening a wine bottle, and in the process you break the cork. What's the only thing left to do?

            Put a cork in small enough that it won't stop up the opening.
