A new currency proposal

In light of the latest court ruling that our present paper currency is
discriminatory to the blind, and that the Secret Service has their hands
full with N.Korean counterfeiters, and since paper is more expensive to
produce due to it's very short life span, I propose the following
currency system made entirely of coinage:

In addition to the current coinage,

$2, $5, $20, $100, $250, $500(Maybe?)

The higher denominations from $2 to $500 should be polygon in shape so
as to distinguish them from the smaller ones. They do not have to only
be proportionately larger in diameter either, but they could also
increase in thickness.

This would require a return to the original sized dollar however to end
confusion with the quarter. The larger denominations might also cross
the diameters of the smaller, but due to the shape, would not be mistaken.

Of course, it would be much more prudent to return to a hard money
standard (precious metals) and implementing this would solve all of the
above as well as a myriad of other problems.
