This is a great idea!  I wonder why all economists haven't widely adopted 
this (economics is alleged to be a science, you know.)

I can just imagine having the following conversation: 
"Dad, can I have a dekadollar to go out with my friends?"
"No, sorry kid, I don't have a centidollar!"

But seriously, especially since France already started this with Francs,
is there any indication that the EU will use it with Euros?  I think that 
it would start there, if anywhere.
