And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

[JULES]

They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

[VINCENT]

No, they don't have fractions, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter is.

[JULES]

Then what do they call it?

[VINCENT]

They call it Royale with Cheese.

"No they have the metric system, they don't know what the fuck a quarter pounder is"

Fractions aren't imperial, fractions are fractions, everyone has them. It's the 'pound' that's imperial and normal people don't use.

How could OP have transcribed the movie clip so wrong, but still made an absurdist joke? Thanks for clearing it up.

I've been a victim of Poe's Law, but there has to be some threshold where it's not ambiguous.

Recently it occurred to me that in the US we have 25¢ coins but $20 bills. It never bothered me before but it's really odd. Especially when many other countries have 20"¢" coins.

20¢ coins would be better for transitioning away from smaller denominations of coins. If you got rid of everything smaller you could drop a decimal place.

We can already just round to the nearest quarter. Basically no machines take anything less than quarters.
