SmallChange (SMC) - a 'faster' version of Litecoin which also uses scrypt as a proof of work scheme and is intended for microtransactions.
*) 15 seconds block targets: beat that MinCoin!
*) 420 699 680 total coins
*) no subsidy within the first 3 days and after approximately 5 years; in between: 4 coins per generated block
*) difficulty retargets every 0.35 days
*) currently peers are looked up over IRC only
*) currently no block checkpoints are in the code (but could be easily added)
Other than that, this coin is exactly like Litecoin and
should by no means be used as a real cryptocurrency. All of the coin parameters are chosen arbitrarily or at most with 'fairness' towards everyone in mind. [..]
But head over here for the client and more information:

/edit: layout corrections, topic clarifications and notice:
Any mining efforts are probably
wasted efforts. Imagine this coin to be like a small Bitcoin testnet with it's own set of (untested) rules.
