[kwhitefoot]

Despite having visited the US many times, I have not the slightest idea of how big a dime is (or what it is worth), so it isn't a useful indicator of scale to me and, I suspect, much of the rest of the world.

Dime’s diameter is 17.91 mm (0.705 in) per Wikipedia; bacterium is one centimeter (cm) or 10 millimeters (mm).
