The commonest "small" unit is the millimetre - you may get a fractional value such as 0.94 mm (we don't have dimes here, so YMMV).
The next smallest is the micrometre, but most folks outside the science community don't have much of an intuitive grasp of its size.
The centimetre is also often used, as it's closer to the inch, but 0.094 cm is a bit of a mindwarp.

What metric unit would you use to measure a penny?
The diameter and thickness of the penny could be expressed in millimeters = 'mm'. The area of the penny's faces, or even of its edge, could be expressed in square millimeters = 'mm2'. The volume of material in the penny could be expressed in cubic centimeters 'cc' or cubic millimeters 'mm3'. The mass and weight of the penny could both be expressed in grams = 'gm'. The age of the penny since it was minted could be expressed as a large number of seconds = 's'.
