Zikten 03/10/24 4:04:59 AM #1:	We would still have coins but they would represent dollars. The smallest denomination of US currency would be 1 dollar. Everything would be full dollars. Nothing like 1.75 would happen anymore. It would just be 2 dollars probably in that case <cite>Zikten posted [p:979288884] in What if Am...

Paragon21XX 03/10/24 4:30:59 AM #10:	No. Round everything to the nearest quarter and start phasing out pennies, nickles, and dimes.

Trumble 03/10/24 4:35:16 AM #11:	We got rid of 1c and 2c coins in 1990ish, and 5c coins in 2006. It's worked out fine. I suspect 10c won't be far behind now, if they can decide on logistics around how to handle that that would leave us with two denominations that don't neatly divide into one another (20c and 50c). Could always just replace the 20 with a 25 I guess. I don't think we could justify dropping the 20 just yet. --- Do, or do not.

darkbuster 03/10/24 4:36:53 AM #12:	Basically just remove the fractional nature from America's currency scale?

Naysaspace 03/10/24 4:40:37 AM #14:	Canada did this in 2012. Now, if you pay cash, anything up to 0.02 is rounded down, but 0.03 and up is rounded up. To the nearest nickel. Some businesses run a scam where everything is always rounded up. They gained 3-4 cents, every-other transaction, on this. Back in the day companies could make 1-2 thousand bucks a year on this, just based on volume (assuming 300ish transactions a day). Nowadays, far fewer people use cash, so i imagine its a hundred dollar scam at best. but i did run into one in the wild just last week and thought "hmmm, haven't seen that in a while". --- AMD is the best company in the history of computing! <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:979289095] in What if Am...
