It is very good, find it here. You’ll find posts on whether we should abolish the penny, why housing derivatives aren’t more popular, and which is now the largest "emerging market" (Brazil, not China). Thanks to Chris F. Masse for the pointer.

I have been following Jelveh over at Odd numbers since they started, and the blog is indeed excellent. I am a little concerned about their low readership though, hopefully it will pick up now.
I like money with holes in it. If you can’t get rid of the penny, at least redesign (I think I had some of those as a kid).
I hate the tiny little dime. Make the penny worth a nickle, make a nickle worth a dime and dump the dime.
Brazilian solution to no pennies scenario (there’s a shortage of small coins and they don’t seem to be motivated to make more): stores round off the purchase cost, sometimes up, sometimes down. But it eventually evens out.
