"Dime and quarter" is awkward -- it's a benefit to have the smallest positive difference between any two piles of coins to be a coin value. Either get rid of the dime, or replace the quarter with a 20 and/or 50 cent piece.
- kurthr 9y agoIf we got rid of the 1c penny and 5c nickel, then the dime would be the smallest/thinnest coin... having change in $0.1 increments seems as reasonable to me as having the current (e.g. gasoline) pricing in $0.001 mils. Just shift up an order of magnitude for physical payment. The FED is targeting 2% inflation a year so every century or so we should shift an order of magnitude in value.
