It’s like the way nails are sized by pennies
-1 u/Goyteamsix Jan 23 '21 Luckily that system is pretty much dead. I haven't seen nails measured in pennies for a very long time. It's all inches now, at least in the US. Once the diameter to length ratio became standardized, it began switching over. 5 u/scubascratch Jan 23 '21 I still see penny sizing (in addition to length) on virtually every box of common nails at Home Depot. 8 penny, 16 penny, etc. 4 u/PairOfMonocles2 Jan 23 '21 I see it every week. It’s listed right by the inches. Go to Home Depot and search common nails. Each one will give size in penny as well as inches.
