[meteorite-list] Why make differnt size scale cubes?

[Meteorites USA]

Hi Rex, Never knew there were no standards in scale in scientific 
photography. The scale cubes with hash marks are good, so long as people 
use them correctly in their photos. Thanks for explaining it. Cubes are 
MUCH better to use than coins. By the way, I wasn't downing your cubes, 
I simply didn't see a point in different size cubes until you guys 
explained it. It makes more sense now.

Eric
