<p>[QUOTE="ksmooter61, post: 26741028, member: 169607"]The logic behind keeping the dime is that you simply drop the hundredths place on all pricing - everything would be in tenths. This would still allow sales tax for those states without any issues. It also keeps the decimal system in play; going to quarters goes back to the old piece-of-eight logic. Keep in mind, the dime would become the new cent, only used in return change from purchases. The real beauty of this logic is that the seigniorage would be greatly improved - the mint would profit on all coin production.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
