RE: Pocket Change Peculiarities: The U. S. Dollar
In NZ, we have $2, $1 goldy coloured, 50 and 20 cent silvery coloured and 10 cents, a brassy/bronze colour.
it cuts the weight of coins in the pocket a lot.
So quarters aren't a denomination in use there? What about one- and five-cent pieces?
Our beloved Government decided a while ago that they were a pain in the ****, people would have to round up, or down to the nearest 10 cents.
[guess how many things were rounded down]
after a while, with plastic money, you don't miss the shrapnel.
Funny how decades of devaluing a currency results in funny money and a need to drop a decimal place.
