Hi!
Whats the deal with having coins in cpu photos? Specially the Chinese collectors seems to have it. Also mynikko is one. Are you here?
Is it because showing proportions of chip size, well then i have to know the size of chinese coins... Anyone?
Just curious...

More often than not, the coin shows the true value of the CPU  |

PM sent to Cpuswe.
The initial purpose of using the coin was for size comparison (the coin's diameter is about 2.2cm as I stated in the homepage).
Because the reason might offend some people with different prospective, I will not explain it here in public.

For a coin in cpu photo, I guess some people want to show where the chips came from not the size, I think for the chip's size a ruler in photo will be better.
