Did you know a dime has 118 ridges around the edge?
Dimes are made out of an alloy (a mixture of metals) of 91.67 percent copper and 8.33 percent nickel (before 1965, the dime was made out of silver). The dime has a edge with 118 ridges. This coin is 17.91 mm in diameter and is 1.35 mm thick - it is the smallest, thinnest and lightest US coin.

At a diameter of 2” and a head not much larger there isn’t much room
for the brain when you do the math!
