I'm way off topic here but:
Do you folks not have nicknames for your different coins? Here, if someone were talking about a critter that weighed as little as one of our 10c coins, a writer would be (I think) more likely to say something like "weighing as little as a dime".

![]() The Canadian Loonie and Toonie are nicknames. But in the US dime is the (or at least one) official name for the coin.

Interesting. "Dime" appears to be just a North American thing.

So (assuming consistency) the point of the "one dime" inscription on the US dime must be that "one dime" (in official US usage) is synonymous with "10 cents". So if someone hands you two 5-cent coins, they have literally given you one dime, in the sense of the amount, even though they haven't given you one "dime", in the sense of the type of coin. So there are two different meanings of the word, in the US at least: A type of coin, and a unit of currency. A "dime" is a coin that is worth exactly one dime. In Canada, the word "dime" is never used as a unit of currency; it's used only as a (nick?)name for the 10 cent coin. ![]()

I hate "toonie". I wish we had called them "doubloons".

i'm just saying that for folk in the USA and Canadia "penny" is a nickname, while in the lands of Britain they actually exist, like leprechauns.

Pretty sure your nickels say "5 cents" (just like ours do).
Our quarters say "25 cents".

Two nickels do not make "one dime", idiot.
There is an object in our universe with the words "one dime" on it. That object I'm meaning is the U.S. dime, which is worth 10 cents. Ten U.S. pennies are both worth 10 cents and are NOT "one dime" nor "a dime". Two U.S. nickels are both worth 10 cents and are NOT "one dime" nor "a dime". A two fifths mangled portion of a U.S. quarter is worth nothing.

The Coinage Act of 1792 (section 20 in particular) disagrees with you.
But I'll concede that the unit-of-currency meaning of "dime" is somewhat archaic and has apparently fallen out of use.
