The U.S. Mint has made its final order of penny blanks and plans to stop producing the coin when those run out.

      Bring back the bit!

      The more I think about it, the more I like it:

      • Eliminate the Penny, Nickel, and Dime
      • Bring back Old West nomenclature
      • IT’S AMERICAN AS FUCK!
      • Will drive the metric nerds absolutely batshit. “Of course we have an eighth* of a dollar, why would we use decimal?!”

      * I think just the spelling of eighth will spin eurotrash into a tizzy

        The problem with this proposal is that it could start circulating on Xitter and then become actual policy
