Hi @goodboy! We appreciate your interest in utilizing Coinbase Cloud products and services, and we’re glad to help!

We understand that you wanted to know the minimum amount of money that a user can send on Coinbase.com or Coinbase Pro. With this, you may use the following endpoints to be able to get the minimum amount of money a user can send for a specific currency:

  • Get Fiat Currencies
    • By pushing a GET request to the Get Fiat Currencies endpoint, the response will return a list of known fiat currencies with its details. The “min_size” parameter is the minimum amount of money that the user can send on that currency. You may refer to the example response below:
...

id: "USD",
name: "US Dollar"
min_size: "0.01000000"
...

The minimum value for sending a USD currency is “0.01000000”.

  • Get all known currencies
    • By pushing a GET request to the Get all known currencies endpoint, the response will return a list of all known currencies for both fiat currencies and cryptocurrency with its details. The response that you get when you try calling this endpoint can be used by both coinbase.com and Coinbase Pro. The “min_size” parameter is the minimum amount of money that the user can send on that currency. You may refer to the example response below:
...
        "id": "USD",
        "name": "United States Dollar",
        "min_size": "0.01",
        "max_precision": "0.01",
        "status": "online",
        "details": {
          "type": "fiat",
          "symbol": "$",
          "sort_order": 1,
          "push_payment_methods": [
            "bank_wire",
            "fedwire",
            "swift_bank_account",
            "intra_bank_account"
          ],
...

The minimum value for sending a USD currency is “0.01”.

For your question, “Is it 2USD or 3USD?”, the answer is no. It depends on the currency you want to send. So, we suggest you utilize the mentioned endpoints above to know the minimum amount of money you can send for a specific currency.
