The American money system is already in the metric system. Everything is based on multiples of 10 with convenience points put in at 5 and 25 for coins and the rarely seen $2 bill. There is no need to change the name. In addition, even the French no longer use the French currency standard. They went to the Euro.

America has been "converting to the metric system" for over 50 years.
Maybe in 50 more years

France now has the euro, which is a metric money system invented by Americans who call it the dollar

It's politically driven! Most other countires use the metric system. So if the Us adopts the motric system the US would be more universal with other countries.

It may have something to do with the French tradition of early surrender. We are expecting, any day now, to here...
