The 5 grams per sheet of common printer paper has certainly proven handy once or twice in some of my interactions in the informal economy.

Same for the US 5 cent coin. Defined mass of 5 grams.
Don't tell the current administration that there's something so un-American about the currency: they will insist on fixing it, and probably retire Jefferson as well.
Fun fact: While the US spent more than 3 cents for every penny minted and distributed, it spends about 14 cents for every nickel minted and distributed!

I mean really, everything smaller than a quarter should go.

I, for one, look forward to the new 5oz "Donald Trump Freedom Nickel". Probably resulting from a deal he did with the Big Trousers lobby groups to wear out coin pockets faster.
(I would have made a gag about a 7g replacement nickel, but you people have already used up the team "quarter" for different denomination. Although the idea of a new 40 cent coin called an "eight ball" amuses me...)
And $20 in dimes or quarters is 1 lb. US silver coins are 0.2268 grams per cent.
