Something that's been bugging me for awhile now.
Why are dimes so small? Shouldn't they be between quarters and nickels in size? That way when you scrounge for change and have it all sorted in your hand for the guy at the gas station, he doesn't get confused (and thus angered) by the fact that size-sort order is not the same as value-sort order.
This has bugged me since I was little. Probably even earlier than that.

The dime, as I have long argued, is the baseline by which all other coins should be evaluated. Thus, the nickel and penny should be ridiculously small; the quarter CAN remain the same, but I would opt for a 2mm reduction in the quarter, a wholesale elimination of the half-dollar, and a reintroduction of the Susan B. Anthony (at its current size). The Sacagawea dollar, of course, will be eliminated and the new two-dollar Adlai Stevenson coin would be just slightly larger than the current "silver dollar."
That is all.
Quite sensible. I shall have them make the change.
Get it...change.
