Smaller by weight, but the largest by denomination. War Nickels have
0.056 oz. of silver - meaning only 90 cents face value (18 coins) is
required to get an ounce of silver. Meanwhile a dime from the same era
has 0.072 oz. - meaning you need $1.40 in face value for an ounce of silver.
Stupid trivia, yes. But isn't that what we're all here for?
