I think even using decimals like that seems un-American, because I’ve always been told that fractions are what makes imperial so easy. Everyone loves calculating fractions after all, so perhaps a cent should be 1/37th of a dollar.

It’s actually kinda weird that they use dollars and cents and not pounds, shillings, pennies and farthings, because that feels much more compatible with the imperial way of thinking.

In case you’re wondering, this is a drawing by the Argentinian comic artist Quino.
