The Dollar, Half Dollar, Quarter and Dime were at one time made with 90% silver content. The size of the coin reflected the value of the weight of silver. The dime is so small because at one time it had about 1/10th of an ounce of silver in it while the Dollar had about 1 ounce of silver in it making it a large coin. The cent was until 1857 a large coin but it had become unpopular with the public due to its low value compared to its bulk and weight (paper money was not widely used at that time). In 1857 the cent was re-sized to something very close to the modern Lincoln cent.
