some reasons why dimes suck:
came upon this site through another site.... Dimes Must Die
here are a few reasons why this guy hates dimes:
- Dollars are made up of Quarters. Quarters are made up of Nickels. Nickels are made up of Pennies. There is no place for Dimes in this system. A Quarter can not be divided up into Dimes unless you go through the trouble of cutting a Dime perfectly in half. Most establishments lack the resources to accomplish this for you when giving you your change.
- Dimes have no purpose in the division of money. A hard-working Nickel carries the value of 5 Pennies, but the lazy Dime gets away with doing only twice the work of the Nickel - All while the Quarter effortlessly pulls the weight of 5 Nickels that the Dime should be pulling.
- Because they are so lazy, Dimes have become scrawny and weak. The Dime is the smallest coin, smaller even than the nobel Penny. Compared to the burly Quarter and the hard-working Nickel, Dimes are the bottom of the monetary food chain. So lazy is the Dime that often they will be hiding amongst Pennies to avoid the work of being spent. The Penny's size behooves it, as it makes it easier to save them in bulk to amass their collected value, but the Dime's reduced size simply makes it harder to find among all the other useful change.
oh yeah, and "Dimes Eat Babies!"

I'm waiting patiently for my Mobil Speedpass to be able to purchase everything, everywhere, but it has failed and shamed me to this point.
hurry up and blog some more. DANCE YOU VENETIAN WOMAN DANCE
I am slightly concerned over your apparent dislike of the dime. Granted, I agree with the many valid points you have made, yet I fear for your sanity. However, to add more fuel to your point of the penny being cooler than the dime, swallow this: Back here “upstate,” that is, the thruway tolls have been jacked up (keep in mind, the system was designed in such a way that we are not supposed to currently be paying tolls) either way, in a form of protest, drivers have been paying their tolls in pennies… just to stick it to the man. If you paid a $1 toll in 10 dimes, it doesn’t nearly get the same point across as 100 pennies…
Well, I enjoy reading your blog, and jims blog, next time Mary and I roll through Texas we will give you a call!
