You currently have no dollar coin?!
Effectively, no.

I probably have one around here someplace. I thought I'd found it but
it
turned out to be a token for the carousel.
We also have a two dollar bill. I've got one that I'm using as a
bookmark. They never took off either.
We do not have a three dollar bill, leading to the expression 'as queer
as a three dollar bill'.
There is a 50 cent coin, again rarely seen. It's redundant since you
can
make any sum with 1, 5, 10, and 25.
We have 1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200 pence coins. They're all equally used.
Why use two 25 cent coins when you can use a 50?
Because that's what you happen to have, stupid.
Doesn't make the 50 redundant. We use 50s all the time, in fact I'd say
all coins are used equally.
You'd be wrong about that last.
