USA metric system history

Clearly Simon Stevin had in mind the use of decimal methods for all human activities and it is likely that this thought inspired Thomas Jefferson to propose not only a decimal currency for the USA but also a whole decimal method for weights and measures. It's interesting that a tenth of a dollar in the USA is still called a dime and it seems likely that this coin was named after the title of Simon Stevin's book 'Disme: the art of tenths'. Jefferson and Washington were also influenced by their own experiences using Edmund Gunter's chain for surveying as each chain length was divided into 100 links making surveying calculations much easier, see http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/MetricationTimeline.pdf
