Etymology

Inherited from Old French: -

Inherited from Latin: pīla#pillar-pier-Latin

Borrowed from Italian: pila

In summary

Inherited from Old French, from Latin pīla (through Italian pila for the “battery” sense). The “tail of a coin” sense is probably derived from previous senses, but it's not known for sure.
