Candace Valued Member Australia 251 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 02:19 am Found this $2 today and it is the same diameter as a normal $2 coin and weighs 6.64 grams, also on another subject can a normal $1 coin weigh 9.08 grams ? Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 02:30 am The dollar is only 0.08g off of normal weight which is darn close. The $2 is well within tolerances for weight as well. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 08:01 am 0.01 of a gram is negligable. If you farted on the coin it could change the mass 0.01 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 7:10 pm robster & airgem Enworb, does that have a similar effect to acetone? (Though it might not clear the coin, it would probably clear the room). Report this Post to the Staff

robster Pillar of the Community Australia 674 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 7:39 pm Apologies for digressing Candace (boys will be boys).! The $2 coin certainly does look considerably thicker than the other.! Did you weigh those two coins.? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 7:39 pm In hindsight that was a bit crass. Sorry... Edited by enworb 02/17/2013 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Candace Valued Member Australia 251 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 12:44 am I weighed the $2 with another year the same and normal $2 came up as 5.57 grams and the thick $2 as 6.64 grams. Also I was looking at the $1 again it is different to the rest it is smaller than the others of the same year and a bit higher in the middle not by much but is noticeable. Oh and thanks for the fart comment just to let you know I live with a house full of boys with me being the only girl I here it all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
