Thread: What's the smallest coin in your collection?

Netherlands.
10 cents 1918, silver .640, weight - 1,4 g., size - 15mm.

Ah, the Spanish peseta (should be rotated 90° ccw) and the Dutch "dubbeltje" (10 cent coin) I have too. The latter was - in Cu-Ni and a different design but with that diameter - in use until the end of 2001.

In the early 20c (roughly between 1880 and 1940) the Netherlands also had a copper half cent with a diameter of 14 mm. And the silver 5 cent coin was 15 mm until 1850; afterwards they used a somewhat smaller version (12.5 mm) until about 1900.

1853 United States gold dollar. 13mm.

All of my world coins are fairly large.

Just a modern euro 1ct pc. (I lived there for two years so it's nothing special.) Still pretty small though.

"Panama Pill" 2 1/2 Cent 1904.
10 MM, 1.25 grams.
I also have one of those Fanams.

Yep, 16.25 mm to be precise. Here http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/.../image8583.gif is one from Spain for example. Wish we would do away with those 1 and 2 ct pieces though.

The Russian 1 kopek coin http://www.cbr.ru/eng/bank-notes_coi...97/97_1k_R.gif is small too: diameter 15.5 mm. As far as I know, the central bank plans to phase these, and the 5 kopek pieces, out soon ...

I like the look of this piece.

this 1897 1/4 real

By diameter: U.S Type I $1 gold
By original issue weight: U.S. 90% three-cent piece

Nice coins! Like the 1/4 real. I have a couple silver Netherlands 10 cent pieces too!

My smallest are two lepton widows mites.

An ancient Chinese ban liang coin cast during the transition period (circa 200 BC) from the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty.

This coin is only 5 mm in diameter and weighs just 0.12 gram.
