Yes, some of the components can fit on the edge of a quarter ($.25 USD) with room to spare. You will not be using a soldering iron on those with any reliability.
Strictly Solder paste stencil, P&P, and reflow oven for these. Unless you are ***REALLY*** talented and have hands like a surgeon.
What. Even the components that fit on the edge of a dime aren't that bad. I'm more worried about the tiny QFN48 package on the ASIC.
