    Nice T$...what's the diameter on these coins?

    Don't have a definite answer... measured them myself and they are two and three-fifths centimeters in diameter.

    They should have a diameter of 23 mm ...

    nah it's just you gave out a fraction 3/5 which is not used in metric , 2.6 cm :p or 26 mm .026 m. I wasn't trying to be a nit by saying that though.

    Yeah, in the US the standard system seems so easy for us, and we wonder why everyone else in the world uses metric :mouth:

    I thought the same thing! It was a mixture of metric and U.S. measurements! :mouth:

    Just think... if it wasn't for Isaac Brock, you could have been a giant state and Americans would visit for reasons other than Niagara Falls, free healthcare and legal marijuana! :mouth:

    I don't know about that. I am an American, but I have never understood "standard". Metric has always been easier and better for me. shrugs shoulders

    Nice coins BTW.:D

    :thumb: I agree with that.

    Fully agreed of course. :D Then again, even in the metric world we sometimes have "inch" screens and "ounce" coins ...

    Those two silver 1 fr coins are not legal tender any more, by the way. But even the current pieces have more or less the same size and look.
