President Donald Trump says he has directed the Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies, citing the rising cost of producing the one-cent coin.
Dimes would make a fine choice for the smallest denomination. You could still divide dollars to the nearest tenth of a dollar, which is more than sufficient. They have no buying power by themselves, but a stack can buy something.
I had a weird pluto-esque reaction, like, ‘aw, but dimes are my favorite!’ I didn’t even know I had a favorite. Why???
I think if it’d be more practical to get rid of them, we should.

A stack of pennies is still garbage.
Sounds a bit too metric to me. The smallest denomination should be 1/12th of a dollar.
They’re small but worth more. That’s neat
