<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 158715, member: 3011&quot;]What I find interesting is the total mess that the government made of the whole coinage system by defining our money in terms of arbitrary fiat values instead of weights.&nbsp; Rather than completely overhaul the coinage, I think it would be easier to eliminate the cent and turn what is now a cent into a nickel.&nbsp; The general public will not be likely to resist the &quot;gift&quot; of turning all of their cents into 5 cents, and the cost and disruption would be minimal.&nbsp; Over time, about all that would be needed is to put the number &quot;5&quot; on what is now the cent until the current nickels and cents can be removed from circulation the way they did with silver coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
