Brief Insight
LESS THAN A PERUTAH

Levi states in the Beraisa that Beis Din will only judge a monetary dispute if the amount of the dispute is at least a Perutah. The Ritva says that this applies only if the claim is on a payment of money but he claim is on an object that is in existence even if it is worth less than a Perutah the Beis Din will hear the case.
Quick Halachah
ONA'AH FOR A MERCHANT

A person is not obligated to return Ona'ah unless the amount is more than a Perutah, if the amount is exactly a Perutah he is not obligated to return it. According to some opinions he is obligated to return a Perutah. It is a Safek if it is permitted to overcharge or underpay your friend by less than the amount of Ona'ah if the amount is at least a Perutah, however regarding a coin that is rubbed out less than the amount of Ona'ah it is permitted l'Chatchilah to use it as currency. (Shulchan Aruch CM 227:6)
Chakirah
Why does the Din of Ona'ah not apply if the Ona'ah was a Perutah unless it was at least the amount of an Isar (a silver coin).
