<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2811321, member: 33176&quot;][USER=88736]@ErolGarip[/USER] It might be an interesting subject, but it is sometimes hard for me to grasp what it is that you are trying to say.&nbsp; In the United States, we started off with an idea to have a currency that had a base unit of a dollar.&nbsp; That dollar would be split into 100 cents (from the Latin centum - 100) this being further split into denominations of 200 half-cents, 20 half-dimes, 10 dimes, 4 quarters or two half-dollars.&nbsp; There&#039;s math.&nbsp; At this point in US history, we have also had 20 cent pieces, two cent pieces and two different kinds of three cent pieces.&nbsp; All of these are still legal currency, although the 20 cent piece and the two and three cent pieces no longer circulate and the half-dime was replaced by a nickel.&nbsp; Soon, possibly, due to increased prices the cent coin may disappear.&nbsp; Currency issues come and go as demand dictates.&nbsp; Then there&#039;s paper money...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
