<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3777917, member: 27832&quot;]At the time the Mint stopped making half cents, their purchasing power was equal to about 14 cents today. The purchasing power of a cent (small or large) was more than today&#039;s quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>WHY ON EARTH</b> should we reform the size, shape, color or taste of coins worth less than the time it takes the cashier to count them out?</p><p><br /></p><p>Discontinue <b>EVERYTHING</b> with a face value less than 25 cents. Make coins worth 25 cents, a dollar, $5, and $20. Throw in a $10 coin if you want full employment for all those slots in the cash register.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop pretending &quot;a whole dollar&quot; is a major unit of value.
