    the above statement is not meant as a comment on the particular design of any particular bank note, or to suggest the primacy of one bank note design over another.

    however, my client would like to comment, in regard to nothing relating to traditions, ivsrs, MIRVs, or nothing: “the new euro 1 cent coin is very, very small.”

    Well, according to the Money Factory’s timeline, “The Bureau of Engraving and Printing announced [in 1996] that new designs would be undertaken every 7-10 years to stay ahead of currency counterfeiters.” That was 7 years ago, so I guess we can’t blame Our Only President for this one.

    As for the new Eurocent, it’s about 90% the size of a dime? Dang. That is small.

    Thanks,

    Aw…what about the Danish 25 øre piece, at 17.5mm? (http://makeashorterlink.com/?F23F23D84)

    And when I was in Denmark in 1985, I used 5- and 10-øre coins, which I swear were even smaller. (I can’t find evidence for this, though, and the bag where I had some has been mislaid). It felt like using toy money, especially since with the exchange rate at the time, a 10-øre piece was worth about a tenth of a US cent.
