Some people are poor. Did you know that? Some people live in poverty. I'm sure that is a big surprise to you. Some Americans still have to spend nickels and dimes. Crazy, right? Some people don't have infinite Bitcoin from mommy and daddy. | ||

I'm in favor of keeping dimes. However, to put it into perspective, a dime is only 50 seconds of labor at Kansas' minimum wage ($7.25/hr). It's hard to find a situation where a dime truly makes much difference. And remember the rounding. You won't always lose 10c just because dimes don't exist. | ||

Some people are poor. What about it? Removing a coin doesn't change the average price people pay for things. Think about doing it the other way. Would bringing back the half penny help poor people? | ||
