I think a duodecimal(base 12 system) would be more efficient than base 10. At least I think money should be this way. 5's, 10's, 50's are all sucky bills. Hurrah for the three dollar bill!

It's possible to count to 12 on one hand by counting the 12 phalanges(finger bones) and using your thumb as a pointer. I don't know if it would be a better system, but it is definitely worth considering. Who knows it might just make society better at math if it makes arithmetic easier.

Thoughts?
