Measure beam

English to French Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Dessin animé
Good morning,

Still working on the cartoon :
The context :

On the countries we see unhappy faces or small smiles, on that country, we see a huge smile.
Then we see two measure beams (meetbalken) One made of coins, the other of smiles.
They go up together: the one with coins stops and is caught up with the smiles that go skyhigh.

Thank you very much !

mètre étalon

Je trouve que le terme "mètre étalon" convient bien à votre texte car le narrateur compare des pays et ce terme comporte la notion de référence.
Example sentence:

Puis nous voyons deux mètres étalons...
