1 dime short of a quarter

So, take all of the letters in "dime" out of "quarter"? Quart-r? Quart-dime?

 

I called it Dime & Nickel = equals... OBAMA QUINCE CENTAVOS.....15c OBAMAH.......

 

A dime was sometimes called a short bit so a 15 cent piece
would be a long bit. Or a ****ed king because
it's not 20 cents or 20% which was the king's fifth.

 

Romania beat us to it by 50 years:



Romania 15 Bani 1960

 

That' been been taken by Mean Mr. Mustard who
"keeps a ten bob note up his nose.".

 

Call it a "pickle"

 

Dime + half of a full dime = daft.

 

The Russian Empire and the Soviet Union also had such a denomination. But is that a reason to have it in the US too?

I'd call it "government spending". Maybe it represents the $15 TRILLION in national debt we have?

 

I'm not sure what you would call a 15 cent coin. Historically, our monetary system was named on a system based on 10s (you would think that if we could do that...we'd also be on the metric system). Anyway, it went something like this:

10 cents = 1 dime
10 dimes = 1 dollar
10 dollars = 1 eagle

Everything else is just a nickname (such as "nickel"). So, I would call it a trickle.

 

How about a "Pentatriple" or a "shorter" (for short of a quarter) Two syllable words seem to be the US preference for coins.
