<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 2637194, member: 13184&quot;]I&#039;m a big fan of moving the decimal point.&nbsp; A can drink that cost a dollar now cost a dime. The average house price becomes $25,000.00 but you&#039;re now making 10% of what you use to.&nbsp; A penny would have a purchasing power of a dime and a nickle would have the purchasing power of a half dollar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This solves the disparity between the cost of metal in a one and five cent piece and the purchasing power of the coin since the coin would hold 10 times it&#039;s current purchasing power.&nbsp; This would also mean that mintage would only need to be 10% of the current level and the same goes with paper money.&nbsp; The long term saving would out weigh the initial boom of the increased value of circulating currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course this would take a financial disaster and act of congress before anyone would go there mainly because most people won&#039;t get it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
