Yeah. Take out the second digit by dropping pennies and nickels. Change quarters to some other amount.

Nah, everything would just be rounded up to the nearest nickel or nearest dime (it'd never be rounded down). Over the course of billions of transactions daily, I have a hard time imagining that the savings of not minting pennies or nickels would actually be worth it.

But it costs more to make pennies and nickels than their actual value, so I do think in the long run getting rid of them might be worth it. --- "Yare yare daze" ~ Jotaro Kujo "Children are pure, they know who's the strongest." ~ MaskDeSmith ...

I'd be okay with ditching the penny, but keep the nickel. Price wars are close enough that increments of .05 would be needed.
I'd also add on that prices cannot be in the fraction of a penny (looking at you, gas/diesel fuel), or in this case, a nickel, and all prices marked have to include tax. --- There is no problem that can't be solved by applying more yuri to it. In Torque We Trust ... Copied to Clipboard!

This argument has been around for years, but it doesn't make any sense. We don't manufacture coins so that they can be worth more than their production costs. But the production costs are higher than what the product's trade value is. That's a problem. Get rid of the penny. Round everything to the nearest .05. We already have rounding for places beyond the penny. If I buy one Arizona tea it's 1.03. if I buy two it's 2.07. That means the real price of one tea is somewhere between 1.0325 and less than 1.035. Just ditch the penny and round to the nearest nickel rather than the nearest penny. --- No one sings like you anymore ... Copied to Clipboard!

Every time a penny passes through my hands I stick it up my ass.
I don’t just stick them up my ass. I spend them. It’s a long-term strategy. I’ve been doing this for 11 years now. Every day for the past 11 years, I’ve stuck $30 in pennies up my ass. I use them for everything: cab rides, movie tickets, groceries... That’s a lot of ass pennies I’ve got out there. And here’s where the magic comes in: When I meet someone who intimidates me, who puts me on edge, a real hard-ass, I just think to myself they’ve probably handled one of my ass pennies. In fact they probably have one in their pocket right then. That just seems to give me the upper hand. I mean, hey, I haven’t touched anything that was in their ass. --- Hay que tomar la muerte como si fuera aspirina. "i don't get recreational boners" -Philoktetes ... Copied to Clipboard!
