In order of size...
The current dime is 2.27 grams, 17.91 mm in diameter, and 1.35 mm thick.
The current penny is 2.5 grams, 19.05 mm in diameter, and 1.55 mm thick.
The current nickel is 5.0 grams, 21.21 mm in diameter, and 1.95 mm thick.

Suggestion...
Make pennies and nickels which are smaller than dimes.

The present price of copper is about $4 per pound, but let's assume $4.54 per pound so that it works out to 1¢ per gram.
The present price of nickel is about $9 per pound, but let's assume $9.08 per pound so that it works out to 2¢ per gram.

Again make a copper penny but make them 10 mm in diameter, 0.7 mm thick, and 0.5 grams -- which would cost 0.5 cents in copper.

Make a nickel nickel which is 14 mm in diameter, 1.0 mm thick, and 1.37 grams -- which would cost 2.74 cents in nickel.

Better suggestion. Back all the paper money with gold and silver, and the inflation will turn it's self around.

Thank Mr Nixon for destroying the dollar!

You do understand why dimes, quarters and fifty cent pieces were made those sizes?
