Like... seriously....what the gently caress is the point of a 2-cent coin? All they do is fall out of your pocket or you just dump it in a jar until it's full enough that you can start throwing it at homeless people.

If they stopped pressing 2-cent coins I bet they'd save millions and not have to resort to this stupid austerity bullshit.

also nickels and dimes why do we have 1 denomination that is worth only 2 of another denomination
consider this consistent progression incrementing cyclically with 5×, 5×, 4×; 5×, 5×, 4×; 5×, 5×, 4× ...
1¢ 5¢ 25¢ $1 $5 $25 $100 $500 $2500 $10000 $50000, $250000, $1000000

or metric-only without having to create any new denominations but :siren: having to carry more coins for exact change :siren::
1¢ 10¢ $1 $10 $100 $1000 $10000 $10000 $100000 $1000000

hope we get to the bottom of this issue itt

this wasteful progression makes no sense its 10 uneven denominations just to cover from a penny to a hundo

incremental steps of √10 uses almost the same number of steps but is entirely consistent
1¢ √10¢ 10¢ 10√10¢ $1 $√10 $10 $10√10 $100 $100√10 $1000

contact your state representatives about your interest in the √10¢ coin

I think they tried to do that in some David Lynch movie but then again who can actually sit around and watch an entire David Lynch movie.

David Lynch is the bitcoin of the movie industry. It doesn't make any sense and practically nobody understands or enjoys it but there's an underlying current of spergs that will defend it to it's death.

The problem is they're not Voltaire and they're also loving idiots.

aren't there several investers that own millions of 80's and back all copper pennies, and they are just waiting for the penny to go away so they can sell them as scrap metal legally?

David lynch does a handful of cinematically interesting things, but the good stuff in his movies always feels like an accident and not the genius fans seem to think it is

What would criminals use if money ONLY came in coins? If big notes were taken out of circulation they would have to adapt or carry big sacks with dollar signs on them like ducktales and to a lesser extent ducktales the movie.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

Australia doesn't have anything smaller than a 5c, which is actually on the way out, and no notes smaller than five bucks, it works pretty good. Every time I'm in Europe I have problems finding the right Euro coins, those things are tricky.
