Does anyone know where I can get some weights for calibrating my digital scale?

but do you need a specific cal weight, or just known weights?

I'm pretty sure just known weights that add up to 2600 grams
a weighed bag of sand might even work for what I need

I didn't know that, thank you. Two thoughts:Tony L wrote:A loonie weighs 7 grams
1) 2600 is not evenly divisible by 7
2) I'll need $341.43 in loonies

Depends on the year the loonie was minted ... cost cutting measures meant the looinie got lighter:Tony L wrote:
When introduced, loonie coins were made of Aureate, a bronze-electroplated nickel combination. Beginning in 2007, some loonie blanks also began to be produced with a cyanide-free brass plating process. In the spring of 2012, the composition switched to multi-ply brass-plated steel. As a result, the weight dropped from 7.00 to 6.27 grams. This has resulted in the 2012 loonie not being accepted in some vending machines
