It's weird that we call the quarter dollar (American currency) a 'quarter'. It's not like we call a slice of bread a 'one twenty-fourth', amirite?

Maybe a little clarification would help. Why is it just the quarter that gets the numerical name? Why 'dime' instead of 'tenth'? Is this making sense to anyone? I was pretty baked when I wrote the post...
