∙ 14y agoThe only thing "metric" about the U.S. money is the fact that the main currency - the dollar - is divided into 100 cents - a power of 10, not like the old British Pound, which was divided into 20 shillings, each shilling at 12 pence; or the Galleon, which is equal to 17 sickles, each sickle at 29 knuts.
