There are many countries whose minor currency unit is a penny. For some strange reason, the US cent is also called a penny! All these pennies differ in size. The main economy that uses a penny is the United Kingdom, where its radius is 10.15 millimetres.
US cents, commonly called pennies, are 19.05 mm in diameter.
British pennies, which have that denomination officially, are 20.3 mm in diameter.
All 20th century general circulation British predecimal Pennies were 30.8 mm in diameter.
British general circulation decimal Pennies are 20.32 mm in diameter.
Both US and Canadian nickels are 21.2 mm in diameter, so the radius would be half that - 10.6 mm
The diameter of the British decimal 2 Pence (2 New Pence) coin issued since 1971 is 25.9 mm.
The radius would be half of that.
