The composition and diameter of the dime have changed throughout its mintage. Initially the dime was 0.75 inch (19 millimeters) wide, but it was changed to its present size of 0.705 inch (17.91 millimeters) in 1828.

A dime is regularly small. Take a euro coin and its about half of that(but its a circle). A dime is a little less than an inch in diameter. The exact measurements are

Mass: 2.268 g  (0.0729 troy oz)

Diameter: 17.91 mm  (0.705 in)

Thickness: 1.35 mm  (0.053 in)
