Should we bring back half dimes?

Given the level of inflation we've experienced in the last 4 years, we don't need ANY coinage. It's all essentially worthless, most people won't even bend over to pickup a dime.

With inflation a dimebag is probably $20. So no need to go smaller. Same goes for coins

 

Honestly what Really should be brought back is the $500 and $1000 bill. It's just the government doesn't want us to have cash anymore

 

Yup. "What are you trying to hide when you carry that much cash?" Um, the outline of my wallet, which wouldn't need an inch-thick stack of 100s to carry the money for a car?

Man, that was detailed! I don't ever see them using beryllium lol. It'd be just like silver!

 

Many places around here don't even take $100 due to potential counterfeits.

 

Except for the toxicity (similar to mercury or arsenic). And the price per ounce (significantly higher than silver). But hey, stick it in a smoke detector and get a neutron source!

I'm amused that they considered uranium. I guess there may be some Niven fans at the Mint, too.
