;This image has a coin in it to indicate scale.
 
{{Documentation}}
Do not rely solely on coins or other "common" objects for scale, as it will require people unfamiliar with it to look up its dimensions or guess, both of which defeat the purpose of the coin in the first place.
</noinclude>
 
Please photograph an object such as a [[:en:ruler|ruler]] or add a scale marking in via an image editor instead. [[:en:International System of Units|SI]]/metric should be used.
 
Examples of good practice: [[:Image:Selection_of_Australian_coinage.jpg|with (metric & U.S.) ruler]] and [[:Image:Lycosida on window.jpg|with superimposed line]].<br/>
Examples of bad practice: [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:NoCoins|here]].
