The Federal Reserve is trying, but can we really keep up with France and chop two digit's off in only 15 years? Wait... we just turned our dollar from 1/35 of an ounce of gold into 1/1400 ounce of gold in 50 years. Another 10 years should about do it, and we can also chop two digits off all our casino chip denominations.

We still don't have any cardboard $12 chips, though .
