'''This image has currency in it to indicate scale.'''
 
{{Documentation}}
Do not use objects such as coins for scale, as they will require people unfamiliar with them to look up the dimensions or guess, both of which defeat the purpose of the object in the first place. Coins are particularly bad as they can reinforce a geographical bias.
</noinclude>
 
Please photograph a [[w:ruler|ruler]] with the subject or add a scale marking via an image editor instead.
[[w:International System of Units|SI]]/metric units are the most commonly used worldwide (see [[w:metre|metre]], [[w:1 E-2 m|1 E-2 m]]).
 
Examples of good practice: [[:Image:Athlon XPM 2400l.jpg|with (metric & imperial) ruler]] and [[:Image:Lycosida on window.jpg|with superimposed line]].<br/>
Examples of bad practice: [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:NoCoins|here]].
