<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 5169810, member: 66"]What it means is that if you were to weigh all the cents the Mint makes and plot them on a graph (x axis being increasing weight and y axis the number of coins), the result will be a bell curve and 95% of the coins will be between 2.98 and 3.24 grams. So 2.5% heavy and 2.5% light, and by the time you get to either of those tolerance edges the number of coins is decreasing RAPIDLY. In theory yes any weight would be possible (but there are realistic limits. A 6 gram coin would be twice as thick and a normal coin, a 60 gram coin would be 20 times as thick. There are limits as to what will pass through the feeding devices.), but by point of a second or third tolerance deviation the number of coins is approaching zero.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
