hot take: non-decimal currency is good and cool actually
the problem with the pound/shilling/pence system wasn't that it was non-decimal
it's that it was british, and in addition, it was a british system that was based on a french system
so doubly bad there

merlin moment
this is literally just called "having a special interest" isnt it
i say this even while use of coins and cash is increasing dramatically
(digital and cash payments are rising while card payments are dropping because younger generations rightfully "see credit as a scam")
coins are cool and epic vs. coins are more cumbersome than bills
personally i love to overthink and care too much about things that nowadays no one really gives much of a shit about and in the end is not really significantly impactful one way or another
