Should we just go to the Dime System

[Illustrious Potentate]

A "friend" may have made around $3-5,000 worth of money off cryptocurrency that the government doesn't know about

That’s good, but eventually the government will get their hands on it and start tracking everything.

It’s why I’ll still use the bookie I have now if Georgia legalizes sports betting. I don’t wanna pay taxes on that shit

Change is good.

We are going back to the bartering system. I will pay you 3 mink pelts to put a roof on my house


I am going to buy a 2019 Dodge Town and Country for 4 hogs same as cash

But I have too many mink pelts already! Can I interest you in half a cord of firewood, 32 lbs of gumdrops or a conjugal visit from @Yoga≈Surfing’s dad? That roof is needed here more.

Can we just make pennies worth 10 cents?

Get rid of dimes and nickels... they cost more than pennies.

99 cent piece.

Don't worry, Joe Biden's got you covered. With the way we're headed, coins will be probably be obsolete since everything will start to cost $100 and we'll all be billionaires like people in Zimbabwe.

That was the best thing about working in Okinawa.
I became an instant millionaire.
Million a year is not bad money if you can get it!

Maybe we could just pay what is listed on the item like they do in Europe.

Some weed stores work that way here.

and just get rid of penny's and nickle's ???

According to this, it costs $.02 cents to make a Penny, and $.075 to make the nickel.
Only $.035 to make a Dime.

Penny Costs 1.99 Cents to Make in 2019 | CoinNews

The price of producing U.S. coins for circulation climbed again last year, the United States Mint disclosed in its 2019 Annual Report.

Just have to price everything in 10 cent increments, like $3.00 instead of $2.99, or $2.90. The merchant has to decide.



this thread got me thinking about it.
it needs to happen.

The Cost of Pennies

Cost of Pennies If you carry a penny in your coin tray, how long would it take for that penny to cost you more than a cent in extra gas? —Leto Atreides At current prices, 140,000 miles, close to the average car’s lifetime mileage: That means that as long as you go through pennies...

As long as it's on YOUR "Dime" - okay???

Pennies yes. Whoever ranted here yesterday did some fine tldr work but skimming it, I discovered it's not worth my time to pick up one on the ground. They cost more to produce than their value so they need to go away.

Nickles maybe. It's probably the same concept. I'd probably stop there though because at some point if we eliminate minor currency businesses are going to take advantage. I don't care if a snickers bar or toilet paper becomes $.25 more expensive but if everyone makes a minor inflationary move because they can, well those quarters start to add up.

I thought this was about Oklahoma's next defensive scheme.
