Hi guys

Take a look at this 1/2 cent 1906 Netherlands coin...It is only 13 MM wide....If you dropped it on the ground, you would never find it again...

There are coins even smaller. Some ancient coins can be as small as 8mm.

To check out other people's "smallest coins", see this old thread and this newer thread.

13mm is nowhere near the smallest coin ever...

Smaller than a US 3 cent silver piece - and that's really small!

Wow...that's even smaller!
I have to wonder at the practicality of coins that can be lost so easily.

My smallest is a "Panama Pill", 2 1/2 Centesimos from Panama.
Now even that looks huge compared to those shown here.
