Hate that solution and it'd be just the kind of hare-brained thing America would do. It's like doing math with english units. *shudder*
If we are going to reduce the resolution, it should be to $0.1, the next decimal place, and we get rid of quarters, nickles and pennies. Leaves dimes (reasonable size) and half-dollars if anyone wanted to use them. We could redesign half-dollars....and/or go to using dollar coins and get rid of paper dollars. So, dimes and dollars would be the dominate coinage in use, and we'd have paper dollars above that. Much simpler.
Suppose the greater lesson here is how to set-up money systems to start with (should have a 0.20 piece, not a 0.25 piece).
