    Dimes would make a fine choice for the smallest denomination. You could still divide dollars to the nearest tenth of a dollar, which is more than sufficient. They have no buying power by themselves, but a stack can buy something.

    A stack of pennies is still garbage.

      Sounds a bit too metric to me. The smallest denomination should be 1/12th of a dollar.
