What's your smallest coin?

ausjack · December 29, 2012, 09:00:56 AM

Two questions here people,

What's the smallest circulated coin you have?

What's the smallest (nclt) non circulated coin you have?

Mine are, circulated would have to be 1 koiienka (russian) about 15 to 16mm and NCLT is my little gold roo at 11.6mm

Probably a threepence, but I might have something smaller tucked away somewhere.
Smallest NCLT is probably a 1c piece in a mint set.

Mine would be the same as yours Mister T. There are some indian coins that are very very tiny. I would like to get a hold of one of those. I dont think theyre worth a huge deal.

Wow Steve, that's tinny for a circulated coin mate..imagine tryin to noodle the bloody things :scratch_one-s_head: or getting paid by the bucket :mocking:

Yeah I think it's the smallest we have but not sure about the rest of the world for NCLT, it's still a cute little coin

No wait, the British India 2 annas is slightly smaller than a threepence.

NCLT ? what is that? I know what BNIB is (brand new in box) ha ha
ps I think that the smallest coin in this house is a Maundy 3 pence from the late 1800's - it is very tiny

Non-circulating legal tender

I have those pre-decimals out of the Perth mint locket coin, they are tiny.

hey PP - I dug out my Spink book but it doesn't seem to have the diameter sizes of the Maundies - that I could find measurements nor can i fiind our coin. Would you know? the 3p diameter?

Yeah, it's small alright, I wonder how many got lost.

Here's another pic along side a U.S. dime for comparison.

Any chance of a pic or link please PP

Struth Steve, NICE and it has the frosted look as well

I have a themed collection of tiny coins, all 17mm or under, all circulation issues.
These are all (AFAICT) 15mm.

Mexico â€" Tiny gold Medallion 10mm, so not a real coin. :cray:

ausjack · December 29, 2012, 02:21:36 PM

Don't cry mate..we'll call him a coin just for you :good: Actually, while we're on it..what's the differance between a coin and a medallion..sorry for the stupid question but I was just thinking about roman coins and that and how they are like this cute little bloke
