What is weird is that of all those, the one I use the least is the dime. Usually you use quarters, then nickles, than pennies to get change done. The dime is smaller, but usually you can make change without it the way things are usually priced these days.

That and while some machines take them, there are no longer dime slot machines in places like Reno. You might find a nickle machine, but not a dime version as they are too small and sometimes mess up the innards.

Trouble is, that if they remove the penny and nickle...they likely have to remove the quarter as well since they would round to the nearest ten (dime) and thus nothing would ever be worth a quarter of a dollar...just twenty or thirty cents. But then you could just remove a zero from the currency and the dime is a penny, and the dollar is a dime. Lincoln would be on the 50 cent piece (of paper).


Of course then you get interesting things happening. We have old tenth of a penny coins ($0.001), the half penny ($0.005), the penny, the 2 and a half cent nickle ($0.025), the five cent nickle, and paper dime. The paper Fifth ($0.20). The paper half dollar ($0.50). The dollar, the two dollar, the five dollar, and the ten dollar. All these are present day dollars and cents reduced by one decimal place.

(Looks like we need new printed money....Need to pay for a new computer for more than $50)

You could get several Euros for every "dollar" though.
