United State Coins (trivia question)

[keithdagen]

OK, for someone who is research minded

 

For US Coins, 1793-present, list all circulating designs in order of size, smallest to largest. Remember that for some denominations, the sizes may have changed over the years.

 

I have a 1976 Mint Set that I'll send to the first person to answer correctly.
