Historical Precedent[edit]

It has been so long since I last edited a wiki page, I will not not edit the page now. However, I wish to point out to other editors that back in the 1940s, in Missouri, I "circulated" one and five mill, green and red plastic coins to buy an ice cream cone. Note the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(currency). — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnHerbster (talk • contribs) 16:06, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Should we split the precedent section[edit]

I think it might work better as a countries who have removed a one cent coin and countries who have a similar or smaller denomination category Nheyer (talk) 22:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Neither piece is very long - don't really see the benefit, because the topic is the same, and if split there'd just be two very very short sections. Short sections are fine if talking about different topics, but this is just "two sides of the same coin" (har har). SnowFire (talk) 22:46, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
