Sorry, was a bit of a busy weekend. I'll try to come up with something, but I can't guarantee it would be quick, and if someone has a quick neat idea, feel free to use that.

Here's a quick round. Post a coin with a fraction as the value. Highest numerical value fraction wins. For instance, this Buenos Aires 5/10 Real 1828 = 0.5. Let's see what everyone has!

NumisEd, the lowest value fraction I have is a US Half Cent - 1/200 = 0.005. Just wanted to go in the opposite direction - towards 1 or > 1. I'm sure someone will have a crazy fraction on their coin. But it must be shown as a fraction as my example.

I'm sure there's like a 3/2 out there somewhere but this is the highest that I'm aware of. 3/4 ruble = 5 zloty, Poland under Russia, 1836.
