Resolved: When I run that code it gives me an error

The code is the following:

import numpy as np
import cv2
img=cv2.imread('capstone_coins.png',cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE) 
original_image=cv2.imread('capstone_coins.png',1)
img=cv2.GaussianBlur(img,(5,5),0 
cv2.imshow('Detected Coins',original_image
cv2.waitKey(0
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

But this gives me the following error:

[ WARN:0@0.019] global D:\bld\libopencv_1656375874586\work\modules\imgcodecs\src\loadsave.cpp (239) cv::findDecoder imread_('capstone_coins.png'): can't open/read file: check file path/integrity

I already have capstone_coins.png and capstone_solution.py in the same folder, too

I think I have solved this problem: the first time we use Visual Studio Code, we should have on the left side a button with the wording "Open folder". We have to click on that folder and to select the folder in which we have the image and the .py file. I hope this can be useful to other people.
