    Your loonie weighs 6.27 grams if 2012 or newer so you can use that as a calibration source.

    i have a collection of american coins. I have actual calibration weights though (the chef thing again) but thanks for the tip.

    I remember when my scales decided to stop working once :D Wanda suddenly weighed about 100g less than she should of in one week, and I was panicking thinking she had a horrible parasite :O Turns out my scales were just miss-calibrated. Whoops! Glad you got the problem sorted out!
