<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 1766508, member: 13184&quot;]We need to either move or lose a decimal point.&nbsp; If we lose the cent, then we will need more nickels but, are still in the same boat, since nickels cost more to produce than&nbsp; face value.&nbsp; So now we lose the nickel and might as well price everything on the shelf to the 10th of a dollar.&nbsp; This leaves us with a dime which is like the &quot;new&quot; cent, a useless quarter since you have to use them in pairs, an oversized 50 cent piece, plus the paper dollar argument.&nbsp; Eventually we&#039;ll stop printing dollars and go to dollar coins.&nbsp; At that point we might as well take the 5 dollar note along with it, plus coin a new $2.5 coin just to have something to put commemoratives on, and this gets us back to where we started.&nbsp; Who knows, in a hundred years there may be a thread here about needing to lose the dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
