1. A coin-shaped electric double layer capacitor comprising an assembly of a pair of sheet-shaped polarizable electrodes and a separator interposed between the electrodes and impregnated with an electrolyte, a metal casing accommodating the assembly and electrically connected at its bottom to one of the polarizable electrodes, a metal cover for the metal casing, connected to the other electrode, and a sealing material interposed between and electrically insulating a periphery of the metal cover and the open edge of the metal casing and integrally caulked by an open edge of the metal casing, wherein the polarizable electrodes are composed of a continuously micro-porous structure of a fluorine-containing polymer resin with a fine carbon powder incorporated therein said fluorine-containing polymer resin being to 5 to 30% by weight relative to the fine carbon powder, wherein said structure comprises a numerous fine nodes of the resin and fine fibers of the resin three dimensionally connecting the nodes so that the nodes are partially in contact with or connected to one another, and the fine carbon powder is contained substantially in the nodes whereby said capacitor has a capacity of at least 40 F/cm3.
