The "same size" has ADA implications for low-vision persons, so it's possible that'll change some time. It has some advantages, though, for places that handle cash to have it all the same size (cash drawers, wallets, vending machines, etc).

Once tipped a guy $11 for telling me an interesting story because I mistook the $10 as a second $1. Baffles me that the US hasn't upgraded.
