There's been a Sunday night massacre: Trump just killed the penny.

Oh, dear.
Ours died very long ago.
And then it more or less died again in euros.

The only thing that makes sense with our currency is to move the decimal place over by one.
That way coins could be of any use.
But you would have to issue new coins of the new values.
Cerberus

Hmm what is your coin with the highest value?
Ours is €2.
We used to have fl. 5 coins.
But also fl. 5 notes.
Wasn't that odd.
tchrist
tchrist
$1
Nothing above that. And $2 bills are seldom seen but exist.
They do mint collector-destined coins with silver or gold with higher dollar values on them which are legal tender for that amount but which you would never use in that way because you paid for it than that.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Isn't $1 useful?
tchrist
tchrist
It would be.
You have to go out of your way to possess them.
Go the bank etc.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Huh.
Cashiers won't give them to you?
tchrist
tchrist
Well, "won't". THEY don't have them. You'll never get one back as change because they just do not have them.
Sure, if they had any, they could and would give you those back as change. But I've never had it happen to me.
Cerberus

Hmm why do they not have them?

@Cerberus They do already make $1 coins, the pretty ones with Sacagawea on them.
Cerberus
Cerberus
No idea what that means.

Sacagawea dollar
The Sacagawea dollar (also known as the "golden dollar") is a United States dollar coin introduced in 2000, but subsequently minted only for niche circulation from 2002 onward. The coin generally failed to meet consumer and business demands but it is still generally accepted in circulation. These coins have a copper core clad by manganese brass, giving them a distinctive golden color. The coin features an obverse designed by Glenna Goodacre of Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, carrying her child. From 2000 to 2008, the reverse featured an eagle design by Thomas...
You can get rolls of them at the bank, actually, but you won't find them much elsewhere. They have the advantage of being very pretty, and the disadvantage of being much harder to carry around than $1 bills, much less bills worth enough to actually pay for things.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Oh, you have bills of that amount?
The lowest we have is €5.
alphabet

Yes, there are $1 bills, which aren't totally useless.
But even parking meters and laundromats take credit cards now.
Government wants to get rid of cash so they can track us. (Ok, that's not the real reason, but it is an effect.)
Cerberus

We rarely use cash any more.
Nor credit cards.

No, just tap with your bank card.
Though I suppose you can also use your phone.
I.e. put your bank card in your phone.

@alphabet My ex had a pair, sort of, and the local laundry-room-thief lady stole them out of the dryer, along with my college kangaroo-pocket hoodie. We figured she had something to hide…

@Mitch I went to college with a guy who was training to be a post-apocalypse surgeon in his spare time, when he wasn't welding or whatever else.
Hey, sometimes you can't just heat up metal and sear a wound with it
IDK
We wouldn't have to worry about all this if we still had the Sears catalog
I'm just going to turn off my phone
All the bothersome people will assume I'm dead or in a pocalypse hospital.
But they'll say Pocky Lips, like the Waterworld chidren
I would imagine
