You're right actually, when you think about it $1 being 100 cents is basically communism. $1 should be 57.93 cents

    I think even using decimals like that seems un-American, because I've always been told that fractions are what makes imperial so easy. Everyone loves calculating fractions after all, so perhaps a cent should be 1/37th of a dollar.
