[meteorite-list] Centimeter Cubes

[dean bessey]

For years this topic has come up regularly as people
try and get cubes for size.
Whats wrong with using a coin in your photo for size?
Everybody knows what the size of a USA 10 and 25 cent
coin is but if not I am sure somebody would send you
one or you could get one at a local coin store or when
travelling. Everybody knows somebody from the USA.
Then you could get a collection of a half dozen EU and
australian coins to compare if somebody really wants
to take sizes into account so as to cover all bases.
Or if that is to much why is a centimeter cube somehow
better than a centimeter ruler? (Which everybody
already has). 
This centimeter cube fetish thing is a solution
looking for a problem. Save yourself hassle and use a
ruler or a coin. People will get the idea of the size
of whatever it is that you are selling.
Sincerely
DEAN
