To: null and void

It’s important to me the revalue the currency to make the 1¢ coin meaningful again


When you put it that way, you are effectively doing what my proposal does (by eliminating the unmeaningful coins, and adding larger value ones).

However, if you 10x the values (to make the penny meaningful) then your large coin is worth $20, which seems excessive. And your top bill would be worth $10,000, which many might find excessive.

I also think it a mistake to have both $1 and $2 coins and bills. When you overlap, you end up with one being disused.

It isn't exactly the same, it allows the language to keep a penny for your thoughts, my two cent's worth, and plug/wooden nickles.

Good points.
