<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1913928, member: 75105&quot;]I feel like we are the dumbest country on the planet when it comes to money. For instance, we use a 25th of a whole coin aka the quarter, while most other countries use 20th of a whole &quot;20&quot; denomination coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>45 cents with our money is a quarter, a dime, and a nickel, whereas if we had a 20 cent coin it would be simply two 20c coins and a nickel, it just makes more sense to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The UK has not issued a pound note (similar to a dollar bill) since 11th March 1988, and instead uses a COIN.</p><p><br /></p><p>We still issue a penny, Canada got rid of it in 2012, while most other civilized countries have gotten rid of their &quot;1&quot; denomination coins, some countries don&#039;t even have a &quot;5&quot;, denomination coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t even get me started on the fact we are one of the last countries NOT on the metric system.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I could locate the nimrods who drag their feet on currency and coin changes that should of been done decades ago and hit them over the head with a bag of dollar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>We need to get rid of the cent, go to a dollar COIN, and get the hideous portraits of dead presidents off our coins and return to beautiful portraits of lady liberty as we did years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also need to change the composition of the nickel, which currently costs over 7 cents each to make.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
