    What about going the other way, we take up the metric system and coins for our 1 and 2 dollars instead of paper bills?

        Aren’t dollar coins used in the US? Because I’ve used them in dollarized economies (e.g. Ecuador) and I assumed they were fairly standard everywhere.

          We have them but they’re somewhat uncommon. I needed three for a project recently and had to go well out of my way to find them

      In terms of the metric system, just tell Americans that they’re still using the occupier’s system (British redcoats). 😉
