FTA:

If we got rid of the penny, the nickel, and the dime, our smallest coin would be the quarter. That would take us back approximately to where we were from 1857, when the last half-penny was minted, up to the First World War.

Awkward. I skipped the third bullet point when I was reading as I got what they were trying to say from the first two....

I expected them to elaborate in the part after that talking about how "discontinuing" coins has a history in the US.

Oh well, thanks for correcting me.
