    Tiny? Not hardly.

    You want tiny, try some early Maundy money, quarter farthings, and Peruvian 1/4 Real pieces.

    And if you want really tiny, try a 1/32 ducat from Nurnberg, 1700 --- it's only 5 mm in diameter. That's simply microscopic.

    or the Dam from Nepal... smallest coin I've ever seen

    The "Panama Pill" is really small, but the smallest I've seen is some little tiny copper pieces from India.
    Those might be what Ricke is talking about, but I never knew what they were called.

    Some of the gold fanams from india get down to the 4.5 - 6 mm size. By comparison that mercury dime is 17 mm so you could put 3 to 4 across the diameter of the dime.

    Boy, are they ever. I can not see anyone carrying them around. I bet a bunch of those got lost over the years.

    Smallest coin ever

    The article says the smallest is the quarter tara of Vijayanagar weighing .06 grams with a diameter of 4mm. Wow thats teeny. image

    This article:

    Lightest coin

    says the lightest coin was the Nepal 1 jawa, equal to 1/512 Mohar, weighing just .01 grams, so it must have been smaller than the quarter tara above.
