HISTORY OF THE PANAMA PILL COIN
"The Panama 1904 2-1/2 Centesimos weighed in at 1.25 grams and measured a tiny 10 millimeters.
What is the smallest coin ever struck by the United States government? While the United States has produced coins for over 40 countries, the smallest to date is the Panama 1904 2-1/2 Centesimos. Measuring a small 10 millimeters it is commonly called the “Panama Pill.”
In 1904, the US acquired the Panama Canal project from a failed French effort. As a result, the US produced coinage for use in Panama.
The coinage of 1904 was silver and based on the Centimo which included 2-1/2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 Centesimos coins. The coins were produced using the US standard of .900 fine silver, and featured the portrait of Vasco Nunes de Balboa on the obverse and the Panamanian coat of arms on the reverse.
The 2-1/2 Centesimos weighed in at 1.25 grams and measured a tiny 10 millimeters, making it the smallest coin produced by the US and the smallest government authorized coin in circulation in the Americas.
Because of its tiny size, it was often comically referred to as a pill or Panama Pill. In 1907, the currency was revised and the 2-1/2 Centesimos were reintroduced in copper-nickel, with a diameter of 21 millimeters."
