What household item weighs one gram?

If you are trying to calibrate a scale and cannot find the 20 Nickels try using a \"snack\" size sandwhich baggie it weighs exactly 1.4 grams add to that the following measurements in sugar and it will weigh at 100 grams I actually did this to make sure

1/4 Cup+ 1/8 Cup + 1 tbsp and 1+ 1/4 tsp. = 100 grams.

A single small paperclip will weigh exactly one gram.

-_Note:_Not_the_%22Jumbo%22_paperclips,_but_the_regular_ones.">- Note: Not the "Jumbo" paperclips, but the regular ones.

Any kind of US dollar bill also weighs one gram.


-It is better to use a crisp bill
I weighed 100 brand new standard small paper clips made by Work Services Corporation, item number A-A-2601 TYPE 1. They are as generic a small paper clip as you will ever see. The weight for 100 of them was 54.63 grams on my precision digital laboratory scale. That makes each one 0.5463 grams, so I don't think the above assertion is even close to being accurate.
I also weighed a fresh US dollar bill, and it was exactly 1.00 gram.

but why only a us dollar bill what is the weight diffrence between a us dollar bill and a canadian one? Dawn rox
