wow

I mean assuming it actually holds water and isn't some easily rescinded thing...but really, who would want to go back on this?

that's one of those institutions you always think "hey yeah this doesn't make sense, but oh well we've always done it this way"

You're asking why would I oppose the currency controller reducing the number of available prices? It already doesn't issue large bills above $500 to the public.

Why not get rid of all coins? That would even better hide inflation at the consumer transaction end point.

If you care about the miniscule cost to manufacture them, then pass a law to change the copper content of them. I know why Congress doesn't want to do this and the President doesn't want to sign it.
