<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2843545, member: 88736&quot;]Kentucky, </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that you have not followed this thread really/carefully. </p><p>Like in questioning &quot;how much money or how many money&quot; (that&#039;s not about learning how people say there, of course, I know, they say &quot;how much money&quot;, but, still questioning, further, linguistically/mathematically, it is about something else than that people are used to..), the &quot;counting&quot; too in this thread is being questioned in a different way that people are not used to... To explain, I had written these in my previous posts: </p><p><br /></p><p>1cent &lt; 5cent (nickel) &lt; 10cent (dime) &lt; 25cent (quarter) &lt; 50cent (half) &lt; 100cent (1usd) &lt; ... &lt; 100usd &lt; etc... (1) </p><p><br /></p><p>This is classical standard counting way from few/less/smaller to many/much/big/large. In this form, the smallers (not only 1cent, but also 5cent, etc) are not significant comparing with the largers. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, what I am doing here in &quot;counting money&quot; is different, there is a small difference, but, its result is big. </p><p>Let me rewrite it again with small difference: </p><p><br /></p><p>1cent&nbsp; ... 5cent (nickel) &lt; 10cent (dime) &lt; 25cent (quarter) &lt; 50cent (half) &lt; 100cent (1usd) &lt; ... &lt; 100usd &lt; etc... (2) </p><p><br /></p><p>Expression (1) above is not wrong, but, this expression (2) too is correct... Do you see the difference between (1) and (2)? There is no &quot;&lt;&quot; sign after &quot;1cent&quot; in (2)... I wrote (2) so to emphasize that 1cent has a special property that makes it differ from all others and its that property of &quot;1cent&quot; is more important than how small/big it is.&nbsp; And, its this special property has not been being seen by people and that is why people have been trying to circulate 1cent also. That circulation can be tried to be done if &quot;counting&quot; is done as in (1), but, it can NOT be done in the form (2) and it has been proved over and over in reality that circulation of 1cent does not work, according to (2)... In form (2), &quot;1cent&quot; is seperated intentionally, to highlight its special property, that&#039;s... it is constant.... all others are variables. (hope what I&#039;ve been trying to tell is clear now.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
