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.
minus-squareKlear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 days agoSounds a bit too metric to me. The smallest denomination should be 1/12th of a dollar.
