[QUOTE="fabio61, post: 1429848, member: 37798"]We have to adapt to the fact that our coins and bills no longer reflect any semblance of the value they once held. While I see no problem continuing to calculate prices to the penny, when it comes time to cash out (pay) we should round to the nearest dime. 1. Ditch the 1c and 5c - except for collectors - Mint set, Proof set, Rolls, to meet demand. 2. Ditch the 25c - sort of - simply keep the current size but with a different color and composition and make them half dollars. 3. Ditch the $1 bill. Put Washington on the $100, put Franklin on the $250 when that bill becomes necessary (tank of gas or carton of cigarettes) 4. Ditch the $5 bill. Put Lincoln on the $10 and put Hamilton on ice for now - Maybe someday we can put him on the $500. 5. Introduce a bimetallic $5 coin with a nice Liberty design.[/QUOTE]
