The US seems to have the worst currency setup of anywhere I've been. You have to put in a lot of effort to not end up with a wallet thick with one dollar bills and pockets full of pennies. The UK seems pretty bad as well since the the coin size doesn't seem to have much correlation to how much it's going to be worth.
The EU is better, but I find Switzerland the best so far. No bill smaller than 10, all notes are different sizes so you never accidentally pay with a 100 instead of a 10. A nice big 5cf coin (it's cool to be able to buy a new DVD with 3 coins or less) and no pennies. There is a .05 coin but it's rare, most prices are to the nearest 0.1. Every time I go back home I remember how painful the US system is by comparison.
