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'.

∙ 13y agoThe best metric unit to measure the mass of a dime, assuming you mean the coin variety of a dime, would be the gram. The typical weight for a US dime is currently about 2.27grams, though the Canadian dime's weight may differ. If you mean the chocolate bar Dime however, then you should also use grams.
