On the back of a Roosevelt dime, there is the image of a torch, an olive branch, and an oak branch. The torch represents liberty, the olive branch represents peace, and the oak branch represents victory.
A dime with a winged head design will have a portrait of Liberty wearing a winged cap, while a Mercury dime will have a depiction of Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap. The winged head design is more commonly associated with the Barber series, whereas the Mercury dimes were minted from 1916 to 1945.
Technically the coins are supposed to be called Liberty dimes and the winged Liberty cap worn by Miss Liberty is supposed to symbolize freedom. But the design looks so much like the winged helmet worn by the Roman god Mercury that people nicknamed the coin a "Mercury" dime almost as soon as it was released, and the name has stuck for almost a century.
Mercury is depicted on the face of a silver dime because the design of the dime features the allegorical figure of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, which is associated with the Roman god Mercury. Mercury was the god of financial gain, commerce, and communication, making it a fitting choice for a coin representing value and trade.
A U.S. dime is 17.91 millimeters in diamater, which is 0.00001791 kilometers.
