Coin Measurements - For Knot Sizing

Here is a chart with U.S. Coin sizes to allow users to determine the sizes of knots without a set of calipers or to determine if the hole is large enough with clearance for the knot.

The diameter is what you are looking for in this chart.

Enjoy!

 

Thanks Gary, You can however pick up cheap plastic calipers at Jo Ann Craft stores.

 

... but you cannot drop the calipers into the hole for a linear fit check!

 

This is not helpful at all

 

For those in Europe ...
