What is the smallest coin from 1800-Present

I have recently been uploading my small coins, I have way too many coins, not to try and use categorization to upload them. So I first sorted into Large coins, Medium coins, small coins, and itty bitty coins. Then into countries from there.

But seeing these super small coins, like a 1905 Canada 5 cents coin, makes me wonder, what is the smallest coin made from 1800- now, and how does it hold up value being so small. I'd think it'd be worth a lot, because many probably get lost or ruined easily.

maundy penny? they're mostly around 11 mm.  
Panama Pill is the smallest coin I've ever seen at 10mm but I'm pretty sure there are even smaller coins.

Can you get me a link to this please.

Personally my smallest is a 1901 10 ore from Sweden, coming in at 14.9 on my calipers.

I am for sure going to get me some of those, that is neat! I will only get silver ones though.

thanks both of you for links and info!!

how about another question?

what is the biggest coin made from 1800-now? I guess this is a several sided question, as weight, diameter, or thickness, so I guess just list what you feel best fits the question.

Wow, If I had that...... It would fall through my floor. But IF it didn't, I would probably toss a glass top on it with fuzzy seperators, and then put it on a base with fuzzy seperators too, and use that thing as a table! Or maybe a gyroscope if I could make one without hurting it. That is insane. Way too much time on someones hands.

Hello,

I also agree with Phil, however there are also new and cheaper "Panamanian Pills" with same size and copper-nickel. I have one like this:
