Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 04:32 am I was wondering if it is worth while investing in a Calliper Vernier Gauge Micrometer for measuring the width and thickness of coins, I rarely need to measure coins and I just use a sewing tape measure, which does the job in ‘mm'. Do you need to be more accurate in measurement, and what do other people use. Report this Post to the Staff

Mostly, I use mine for checking which size 2x2 to use. Even a cheapie is a lot more useful than a conventional ruler. Report this Post to the Staff
