Tunneling processes leading to the decay of the false vacuum are studied in the theory of a scalar field interacting with gravity. It is shown that in the theory with conformal coupling (the action containing the term (1/12)Rphi/sup 2/) bubbles with wormhole geometry can be produced, whereas this is impossible in the theory with minimal coupling.
