<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1486248, member: 66&quot;]Barron&#039;s needs to look at Russia which was using a decimal system in the early 1700&#039;s before Jefferson was even born.&nbsp; The ruble was 100 kopecks and they had a 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopeck and one ruble coins.&nbsp; They also had some other denomination during the 1700&#039;s such as a quarter and half kopeck, a 2, 3, 15, and 20 kopeck but so did we during the 1800&#039;s except for the quarter cent and 15 cent.&nbsp; The odd denominations didn&#039;t stop our system from being decimal so I guess it didn&#039;t stop the Russian system from being decimal either.&nbsp; In both cases it was a unit (Ruble or dollar) made up of 100 smaller units (kopecks or cents)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
