Using objects such as coins for scale is discouraged, 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, and some coins' designs are not free content. In addition, some coins are protected by [[copyright]] laws in their respective countries.
If possible, upload a photograph of the subject using a [[ruler]] for scale ([[:Image:Athlon XPM 2400l.jpg|example]]) or add a scale marking via an image editor instead ([[:Image:Lycosida on window.jpg|example]]).
[[International System of Units|SI]]/metric units are the most commonly used worldwide (see [[metre]], [[1 E-2 m|1 E-2 m]]).
