By this I mean not only converting, say, dollars to euros, but getting it out of your head that all coins are “less than a dollar” while all paper money is inherently worth more. Because beyond these shores, it’s simply not the case.
And you don’t even have to look beyond the borders of this very continent. Canada uses coins in higher denominations, from $2 to the $5 coin to the $10 coin and beyond.
But for a very good reason, it’s the Canadian $5 coin that attracts the most interest. Not only from Canadians, and not only because a 5 dollar coin is useful and convenient, but because of whose image graces the $5 coin.
You see, we Americans tend to be rather boring and stuffy with our coinage.
