<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2744151, member: 19463"]Don't stop with the cent. There is no reason for nickels either. Changing sales tax break points would meet popular disapproval but charging merchants a percentage of their total sales and eliminating the myth that $9.98 is a bargain compared to $10 would soon disappear. What coin is not equivalent in purchasing power with the 1857 cent? Maybe we don't need dimes either but lets not get carried away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
