My smallest North American is this .....
Good ole days when Quarters were golden

 

I really like the California Pioneer Fractional Coins. The one below is BG 106, MS-62, R-4. I now have 20 of these, almost all of which are period one (1852-1856). One of the wisest numismatic book purchases I've ever made was finding a copy of the Breen and Gillio book. It cost me $225 but it was definitely worth the price. I just wonder how they were used in commerce as they are so small. I cannot picture a miner with scarred hands being able to count these out for a purchase.





This one is BG 430, AU-58, R-5.

 

The three halfpence was also used quite a bit in the British Caribbean, to be fair. But yes, it's generally considered an issue of the UK proper.

My 1834:



Here's a Panama pill, which is a little smaller at 10mm:

 

I got the smallest ever made....

Etruria/ Unknown City State
AV Ass ND/ NM 4th. century BC

.02g. 2.4mm.

There are 2 known, one found in 1743, other 19th century

Legend has it, that relatives stuck these in a dead person mouth before burial.

 

Here are my smallest coins

 

This is the smallest I have - Mysore Fanam from about 1760. Measures 6mm across:

 

Those Mysore Haidar Ali elephant fanams are FAKE. Only true elephant fanams are from Western Gangas,

 

Thank you @panzerman - I had not heard that before.
I did some searching on Numista and turned up this one: https://en.numista.com/428100
which is Mysore Haidar Ali, and although different from mine seems to be genuine?
Anyway, I also have this one, which I believe is Maratha Confederacy of a simi;lar size. Don't tell me this is fake too?

 

Sadly, many auction houses do not know and have these "FAKES".
The Maratha/ Tanjore looks OK.
Here are some types for comparision...
