Only a certain subset of people would think that universally, a coin that looks bigger would be half the value of the smaller one.

In Argentina back when coins were worth anything, from 1c to 50c they would grow in size, also would have the value in big clear numbers, and varying colors. The 1 peso coin would be a big smaller in diameter but substantially heavier and different with two colors.

Coins in the US from this “obviously the smallest one is the least valuable” mindset didn’t make sense. Also seems like no one cares about any coin but the quarter for anything other than trading them. Any coin operated machine I’ve seen takes 25c
