    Why I hesitate to support joining the Eurozone:

    1. Czech Koruna coins are arranged by size and metal coolness
      • all currrently valid coins
      • by the way, the rim differs per value: ridged for 1 & 10, 11/13-sided Reuleaux shape for 2 & 20, smooth for 5 & 50
    2. 1 CZK (around 5 US¢) is the smallest, so money is basically counted in integers
    3. they are magnetic and thus easy to fish (edit: ferromagnetic of course)

      Swedish coins are terrible because the sizes and values are all over the place, and the 1 coin and 2 coin are fucking identical. Old people, the people who use cash the most, have to squint at the damn things and ask for help.

        The US is terrible. In order from smallest to largest:

        1. dime - 10 cents
        2. penny - 1 cent
        3. nickel - 5 cents
        4. quarter - 25 cents
        5. dollar - 100 cents
        6. 50 cent piece - 50 cents

        The penny, nickel, and dime are virtually useless too since they can’t buy much, and the 50 cent piece is incredibly rare.
