<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 134902, member: 4552&quot;]This has bothered me for well over 80 years now and I&#039;m not even that old. </p><p>Our monitary system is .01, .05, .10, .25, .50 and 1.00. Most coins are proportional in size versus the value. The Cent is smaller than the Nickel. The Nickel is smaller than the Quarter. Quarter smaller than Half Dollar and at one time the dollar was&nbsp; really big. </p><p>Now the Dime. Why is the Dime the smallest coin? Why is it smaller than a Cent? Why is the Dime not a little larger than a Nickel? Wouldn&#039;t it make CENTS to have all our coins in size according to value? Even a blind person could easily tell what is what if all coins were in size the same as value. </p><p>In the far past we had a Large Cent and that was corrected to be smaller so why didn&#039;t they fix the Dime? </p><p>Now that I think of it why isn&#039;t our paper money also bigger by the type of denomination. Each bill should be bigger pending what they are worth. WOW, how big would a ten thousand dollar bill be?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
