Quote:Oh great, now I need one.....bad Just remember, they only contain 0.622 of a single gram of gold. That's about US$25 in gold at today's price. Modern Coin Mart has them for about $50 today. You can get a PF-70 for $100. APMEX charges over $82. I quit looking after that. |

about 2mm /thread  I have seen those before, but never at a price that seems reasonable for a 0.05g lump of gold. I'm curious what (if anything) the design is supposed to be...  |

Very nice, bd251!  To all who do it, I really appreciate the comparison photos that include a more common coin. |

Maundy 1d coins are smaller, but they aren't meant for circulation. This Dutch 5 cents from 1850 was. It measures 12.5 mm diameter and 0.75 mm thickness for 0.685g of silver (0.64 fine) Alongside a US cent:   |

This inspired me to do a group photo of whatever tiny coins I could find on my desk in a few minutes (that weren't completely lame)...  Clockwise from top: that one "7208" wire kopek I posted here before, Concordia cross AE4 (Arcadius, Antioch mint, not sure of the workshop), Soviet 1/2 kopek 1925 (with such a dark patina that the design is barely visible in the photo), India 1 naya paisa 1960 (Mumbai mint), copper Tver pulo (mid-16th century), Thailand 5 satang 2500 (1957 AD), Egypt 1 millieme 1972 (1392 AH), and a coin that I haven't identified yet (but tentatively Norman Sicily). Oh, and an 1961-D dime in the center. |

My smallest coin, at 13.44 millimetres, is a Maundy 2 pence from 1831.  I think the hole makes it smaller. |

Just curious, does any one have or know of any artefacts related to the handling of these tiny coins? I posted a (very rare and not mine) fanam board a few pages back that was designed to assist in counting and handling the ~8mm gold coins.
I would love to see some tiny coin rolls or coin purses!
