You do understand why dimes, quarters and fifty cent pieces were made those sizes?

Yes, they were 1/10th, 1/4 and 1/2 of 0.7234 troy ounces of silver.

What I proposed above has nothing to do with the dime or greater coins. I only propose that the penny and nickel be made smaller than the dime.

Everytime I go to the bank, I ask for 2 rolls of nickels.
