<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 158618, member: 1674&quot;]You&#039;re right that the dime and quarter are incompatible, but the dime isn&#039;t the coin to go, the quarter is.&nbsp; When (NOT if) the Congress finally acts and eliminates the cent and nickel, then the obvious solution is to drop the quarter and reinstitute the 20 cent piece.&nbsp; Then all prices will be rounded off to the nearest tenth of a dollar and we will have 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-tenths coins.&nbsp; With such a major overhaul of circulating coinage the sizes could be restructured so that those 4 coins (dime, 20¢, half, and dollar) would be easier to carry like the 4 current circulation coins now are (cent, nickel, dime, quarter).</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the cent and hope they put it into mint and proof cents for the rest of my lifetime, but it is no longer efficient in commerce and along with the nickel&#039;s exhorbinent cost, they are doomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
