minus-squarethemeatbridgelink18•edit-21 day agoDimes 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. A stack of pennies is still garbage.

They’re small but worth more. That’s neat
