The dime is just TOO small for my damaged eyeballs. However, if squinting would help me lose weight, I'd choose the penny.

The 3-cent Nickel . I'd rather have a silver 3 cent piece. Still, I would love to find either one in circulation. |

All of them really, basically all your coins now have no real world purchasing power.
What can you actually buy with a cent? a nickel or a dime? A tiny piece of candy at most. Even a quarter buys you practically nothing.
I imagine things like a soda or a bag of chips is like $1 or more. What is the point in minting kabillions of coins that are worth nothing.
You could keep the quarters and maybe dimes as change coins, but nickels and pennies are just useless. Most of the 1st world has moved on from worthless coins. Our smallest is the 10c worth around 7 US cents and it looks like an American penny sizewise. Basically any coin under a $1 has no real world usage and most people now will not stop to pick up a coin, even if its $2 or $1 and even in the poorer areas.
I mean pennies and nickels date from an era when they worth something.

Half dime. Too small to give it any significant value in my eyes. Too expensive.

You can use them as paperweights or as exercise weights. It's not what you can buy with coins, but rather how much credit you can get back in change. Boxes of coins can be re-exchanged at the bank for cash or other boxes of coins. |

None. I collect them all.  Now, had you asked, "What Is Your Least Favorite US Coin Denomination that is currently minted for circulation?" then we all know the number one answer to that is the worthless Zincoln!  |

In my opinion, the clad dime is even more worthless than the zinc penny.

I took a coffee can full of these "worthless" cents, nickels and dimes to the bank the other day and put almost $200 in my bank account. Just sayin'...

The four dollar gold Stella is my least favorite coin denomination and I refuse to have one in my collection. In fact, if I were given one, I'd probably just throw it in the trash!  Feel free to test me on that. |

A fake gold stella or a real gold stella?
Gold is gold as long as it is gold.
