The minimal conductivity of graphene is a quantity measured in the dc limit. It is shown, using the Kubo formula, that the actual value of the minimal conductivity is sensitive to the order in which certain limits are taken. If the dc limit is taken before the integration over energies is performed, the minimal conductivity of graphene is 4/pi (in units of e(2)/h) and it is pi/2 in the reverse order. The value pi is obtained if weak disorder is included via a small frequency-dependent self-energy. In the high-frequency limit, the minimal conductivity approaches pi/2 and drops to zero if the frequency exceeds the cutoff energy of the particles.
