actually there used to be a half cent coin, but it went away sometime in the 19th century.

Here in Israel the smallest bill we have is the 20Shekel (about $4) it seems to work out mostly ok. Planet money did some reporting on this and it seems that getting rid of the dollar bill wouldn't really save much if any money.
