Why is a dime smaller than a penny?
Originally, a cent had 1 cent's worth of copper, a nickel 5 cents' worth of nickel, and a dime 10 cents' worth of silver. Because the same weight of each metal was worth a different amount, the coins' sizes had to be different in order to match weights and values. For example, silver was (and still is) worth a lot more per ounce than copper, so a dime could have a lot less metal in it but be worth far more than a copper cent. Even though the monetary value of coins no longer represents the value of their metal content, the traditional sizes are maintained.
Does a dime weigh less than a penny?
Yes, according to the United States Mint website (link found below) the penny weighs 2.5 grams while the dime weighs 2.268 grams.MoreThe reason dates back to the 1850s when coins contained their face value in metal. At that time cents were converted from pure copper to cupro-nickel and then to bronze, while dimes were made of 90% silver. Even then silver was far more valuable than bronze so dimes had to contain less metal and were smaller than cents. Unlike most other countries the US didn't change its coins' sizes when silver was removed in the 1960s so dimes remain smaller than both cents and nickels.
