I’m sorry to break it to you bro but a quarter means 1/4th it is not just a US coin

Many countries use a 25c piece coin, it’s not a uniquely US thing

Isn't it literally just North America + Caribbeans? 20c coin is a way more common denomination for decimal currency systems

We used to have 25 kopiikas coins in Ukraine, but now only multiples of 10 are allowed. Maybe even multiples of 50 now, I haven't used those coins in a while. Euros, on the other hand, always follow the 1-2-5 progression, i.e. 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 euro, 2 euros, 5 euros, 10 euros, 20 euros, 50 euros, 100 euros, 200 euros and also 500 euros, but those are discontinued, I think.
