And it's not like it'll be the first time they took a coin out of circulation. There's plenty like the half penny and double eagle they got rid of long ago.

The half-penny made literally zero sense for a decimal-based currency. When there's a more logical number like 240 or 360, then it has a place.

The double eagle ($20 FV) was basically a 1ozt gold coin. Only withdrawn from circulation thanks to that commie cripple kike (((Roosevelt))) in 1933.

Eh, way back before Babylonian money magic destroyed the value of a penny, there were probably plenty of use cases for a half piece. Which is probably why we also had two and three cent pieces in circulation back then. But now that inflation has wrecked everything, maybe they should swap out everything smaller than a quarter and bring back zinc versions of the old larger denomination coins like half eagles and double eagles.
