This is a test! What is the diameter of a penny where you live? Please identify the State in which you live!

The dia. in MO is .750. Do I win an amazing "out of the box rifle" that will shoot equally amazing 200 yd. 5 shot groups?

The "show me" state is heard from...got to show me too.

Duh...

Blush...

Grimmace...

But...I will admit when I am wrong...the penny is 3/4" not 1/2"...

Maybe that is why I always think I am being short changed?

.748 on the one I just measured here in Penna.

Bill,

Is this a test to see how gullible we are?

I'll bite - 0.751 on a 1998 plain here in Cincinnati, OH.

Don...it was just me being my usual smart-ass about another posting.

the five pennsylvania pennies I measuured all were .7495.

and by the way, every gun I have will shoot a 1 shot group that I can cover with a dime.

Assuming you are trying to be accurate, or testing, there are no true US pennies in Texas, there are a few one cent coins. All the pennies(from pence)are foreign.

Reminds me of a joke:

Rich Texas Oilman goes on his first trip to New York, buys a Cadillac and has to pay a toll on one of the bridges, hands the toll taker a 100 dollar bill. Taker says, "Don't you have anything smaller?" Texas replies, "They make them smaller?"
