By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A one-euro coin 7.5 g

   Its two-metal design is not just style — the distinct layers give vending machines an electromagnetic signature to verify.

2. The Hope Diamond 9.1 g

   The famous blue gem glows an eerie red-orange for minutes after exposure to ultraviolet light — a quirk of trace boron inside.

3. A McDonald's Big Mac 220 g

   The Economist uses Big Mac prices to compare currency values worldwide — the famously tongue-in-cheek 'Big Mac Index'.

4. An adult red fox 5.2 kg

   Red foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their famous pouncing dives — they prefer striking toward the northeast.

5. A standard car tire, without the rim 10 kg

   About a quarter of a tire's mass is not rubber at all — it is steel belts and textile cord hidden inside the carcass.

6. The Liberty Bell 943 kg

   Its famous crack was widened on purpose — an 1846 repair meant to stop the fracture instead ruined the bell's tone for good.
