Good question Kevin.

Perth is approx 3900 miles West of us.
Sydney approx 925 East.
Both a bloody long drive.

I was told by my teacher that within 10 years the US would be on the metric system also.
That was in 1972 of course.

Interesting coincidence, the US has used the decimal system for currency since 1792

Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, ... fractional currency, not decimal, same for folding money. Credit / Debit cards are clearly decimal.

Mrs. Hanson is clearly a decimal woman as she is certainly not willing to be restrained by the available of cash.
