scale calibration question

[bill48nj1]

Hi.
This is my 1st post, I hope I'm in the right place.
I have a 100g pocket scale. It calls for OIML M2 100g weight for calibration.
Can I use an M1 calibration weight instead of the recommended M2?
Thanks

You can use ANYTHING you are actually sure of on the weight. Any calibration weight in other words.

If you don't have a nickel, paper money weighs a gram a bill. US currency that is.
