[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1726664, member: 39"]Ah, but I was referring to NL, not DE. :) Come to think of it, while the Federal Republic of Germany never had a 20 pfennig coin, the German Reich had one between 1873 and the early 20th century. In 1909 a 25 pf coin was introduced instead. But that but turned out to be unpopular, and since then (1916 or so) there has been that gap between 0.10 and 0.50 ... Also, the German Democratic Republic (East G.) had a 20 pf coin between 1969 and 1990. That 0.15 denomination is indeed unusual (I think they also had it in Romania, but maybe only because the USSR had it ;) ). As for the US, however ... well, with my Dutch example I wanted to show that, when you go through a major change anyway, it is also easier to introduce a new denomination or setup. But there won't be such a change in the US any time soon. So yes, while a 0.20 / 20.00 system (or maybe 0.25 / 25.00) would be more logical, it's not going to happen. Christian[/QUOTE]
