Smallest coin you own?

Smallest coin I own can't be photographed. It's too tiny.

I have a "Panama Pill" stashed somewhere.

 

Mines made in America, I think. It's the tiniest pill in the morning for me. I swear.....

 

You're not trying hard enough
My smallest is probably a 1/50 ounce gold Krugerrand.
I do have some micro gold from the claim

Almost too small to weigh or photograph.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention the best part about my cute little coin. It was free! I traded in another batch of junk silver and a couple of coins for some additional stuff not pictured here, but the little guy was buried in a box of other coins I was just browsing through when I saw the gold shine up out of the bottom.

To make a long story short, I didn't have enough in trade value to include what he was asking for it. He saw I liked it and wanted it so he told me to just take it and gave it to me for free. He's an awesome guy and treats his customers very well, which is why he's pretty much the only LCS that I visit. Free gold is the best kind of gold, and a happy customer is a repeat customer!

 

Here are some of my tiny coins.
The smallest one in the group is 0.14 g at 6.00 mm

Here's how I picture the ancient coin striking method:

Slave A places one die on a flat stone and places a blank flan on that die.
Slave A holds a bronze or iron rod with the other die on top of the blank flan.
Slave B take a honkingly large and heavy mallet and strikes the top of the rod.
If Slave A doesn't flinch, the result is a nicely struck coin.
If Slave A flinches, the coin is poorly struck.
If Slave B misses, replace Slave A.

 

This California fractional gold quarter.

 

I know it’s not a real coin, but it is a nice copy.

 

Those are some really nice coins posted here!

I definitely like the small coins. Finally picked up a really nice $1, but it was a jewelry piece at one time and has a solder mark on the reverse.

Price was right, so I got it!

 

Well, that's something I've never seen or heard of before!

 

yup yup cool pieces and dozens of varities as well.. This is a better pic of mine (posted earlier but tiny lol)

 

I've got a half dollar from a later year in an ANACS holder graded AU-58. Bought it raw from a LCS and wanted it encapsulated so I didn't lose it. Now with a smaller coin, I don't know what to do with it! They're so small!
