    I believe the Isle of Man has a 1/20th cat....or is it 1/25th?

    Pretty sure that was a 1/25th ounce coin. I've just added a couple more that I've uncovered.

    Are you planning on doing a type set? That might be very cool!

    Kinda flirting with it yeah. My idea is to stay away from the myriad of privatly minted coins and stick with the ones made by governments only. I don't feel entirely comfortable trusting the content and purity of private bullion like this.

    I've got a few of them.

    Tiny? Yes.

    Thin? Yes.

    Imagine a small very thin button. Little larger than a #2 pencil eraser in diameter.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Even smaller than a silver trime?
    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    A US gold dollar has about 1/20th ounce of gold.

    Yup, almost, they actually have 0.04837oz gold content. I collect those too. Measuring a diminutive 13mm the Type 1 US Gold Dollars are the single smallest regular issue US coin ever.
