Once every ten years or so do we hear of any difficulties with our US 
currency, and that usually come from some advocacy group who feels 
discriminated against.  Most of us here have no difficulties or ill
effects 
with our one-size currency, just like those in other countries have no 
difficulty with theirs.  All countries consider what they're doing to be 
"sensible", or else they would look to make a change.  We're looking into 
that now with our cent and nickel, and to some extent with the $1 coin and

bill.  Now that another ten-year cycle has ended, we will revisit the 
blind-currrency issue once again.  Maybe some modifications or 
accommodations will be made.  Maybe not.

Even more peculiar considering the US is populated by people who come from

all those other sensible countries with different sized bills and no small

coins.  Go figure.
