And that value goes up even more when we start treating nickles the same way.

Shouting and gesticulating and then cutting all of the "um"s and pauses out of your rant-video doesn't turn you into a person who understands the ins and outs of circulating currency.

They'll still have value, they'll just gradually become less common. When businesses stop handing out quarters in change, and start handing out half dollars or dimes instead, they just kind of fade away.
