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?
