7/16" - 10ct = 10mm
10mm is also .40’.
…Which I know because 10mm auto is the parent cartridge of .40S&W, which was just cut down to be shorter, but still uses the same projectiles.
I expect you mean .40 inches but you have abbreviated .40 feet which is more like 61/500m
No one going to mention that it’s a Philips head screw as well? So not only could they have used a metric wrench but also a screwdriver.
Physics is also important. Coins are usually made of softer metal so a wrench can crush it if a bolt is too tight.
I don’t know… I’ve tried to drill holes in quarters when I couldn’t find a washer. Canadian quarters are as hard as woodpecker lips.
“Woodpecker lips” that is probably the most cursed way to refer to a beak that I’ve ever seen
You won’t like this then.
Maths is important to get what the frick a 7/16 inch unit is supposed to be and how to calculate just about anything with it.

Any aerospace mechanics have any comments on this matter?
I’m not an aerospace mechanic, but I do have some insight.
The formula in the image is incorrect. It depicts 7/16" - 10 cents = 10 mm, not plus. Notice that 7/16" indicates the gap in the wrench, and the dime makes that gap smaller.
Now that that is out of the way, it seems that a dime is 1.35 mm (I love that American currency is specified in metric). So, 7/16" - 10 cents = 9.7625 mm. So, pretty damn close to 10 mm.
Certified aircraft repairman here: That’s not an aviation bolt, so the correct tool to turn it is a pair of vice grips and a hammer.
Wait… 20h old and nobody picked up un the fact that the thing on the picture is actually screw and you’d need a screwdriver for that?
It has a hex shape, you can use both.
I would say the Philips is for driving in, for speed of assembly, the hex is for when it’s seized and needs force to remove.
