I prefer redecimalization. Just redesign money with a zero chopped off. Also get rid of the $1 bill and replace it with a coin. This would make the coins represent the current value of 10c, 50c, $1, $2.5, (maybe $5), and $10, with bills for $20, $50, $100, $200, and $1000. Bills would be representing amounts of money that while commonly exchanged, isn’t actively everyday transaction amounts, those would be represented by coinage.
It’s similar to the current situation with yen, where usually you’re rooting in your pocket to pay for something small, not opening your wallet. Though for the life of me I can’t understand why the 1¥ coin remains

I appreciate trying to save resources here, but Americans are way too fucking stupid for that to work, amid a myriad of other issues I see with this
They’d get over it. Just give it a new name and they’ll figure it out eventually.
I’m sure there will be some holdouts, but that’s not exclusive to Americans.
That’s not what decimalization means. We’re already on the decimal system, it’s not possible to decimalize again.
You’re thinking of revaluation
