    Make a 20¢ piece instead of the quarter and everything can go to the nearest 10¢. Then eventually we can get rid of the dime too and everything can go to the nearest 20¢.

      Please do not put the idea in Trump’s head that he can mint new denominations. They will all have his face.

        No, forward thinking is to depreciate the dime, ahead of its time. When the penny was introduced it was worth the equivalent of 37 cents today. Round only to quarters. No new coins - a new 20 cent piece wouldn’t be compatible with coin infrastructure today.
