[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] To address a few points that have been made... A guinea was twenty-one shillings. A shilling is twelve pence. A shilling is also one-twentieth of a pound. So a guinea is twenty-one shillings, or 252 pence, or a pound and a shilling. The US has had dollar coins for a long time. We just don't like using them. And what do you expect the dime to say on it? "One tenth of a dollar"? Sure, it could follow the "one cent" and "five cents" of the penny and nickel, but that assumes you know what a "cent" is. And, if you don't know what a dime is, you probably don't know a cent, either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
