BERLIN—No joke: Switzerland has minted a gold coin so small you’d need to look very closely to see Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue at you.
State-owned Swissmint said Thursday that the 0.12-inches gold coin is the smallest in the world.
It weighs 1/500th of an ounce and has a nominal value of $0.26.
Swissmint said the coin, of which just 999 have been made, will be sold for 199 francs with a special magnifying glass so owners can see the famous physicist on its face.
