<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 198289, member: 3011&quot;]Originally, coin money was denominated by weight.&nbsp; A dollar was 371.25 grains of silver by weight, etc.&nbsp; So the relative values of the metals impacted the size of the coins.&nbsp; Now that money is intangible, the Mint could proclaim wood or plastic to be more valuable than copper or nickel and everyone would just go along with it.&nbsp; So size is irrelevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
