The main reason to teach kids about Roman numerals isn't that they're useful in real life, but because they're so bloody awkward to actually calculate with that it might give the students some appreciation for the number system we actually use.

Like yeah, long multiplication is a ballache, but it could be so much worse.

I.e: "XIX" or "VMCDIII" (respectively, 9 and 5403)

I was curious, because in my country, we count thr centurirs using roman numerals, and we learned to read them in elementary school. Some of my peers get confused with them sometimes, but in general we were taught that. In english speaking spaces, I have seen that people count the centuries with the indo-arabic nummerals so I was curious to if those prople use the roman numeration system at all.

I'm selling new roman numerals if anyone wants them

It's decimal, and the only thing it does is make numbers confusing

Here it is:

take 0123456789 and replace them with OIZEASGFBq (yes 9 is q, don't question it.)

it also means you can write in vigesimal: oizeasgfbqOIZEASGFBQ (O means ten, o means zero)

hex fans? here you are: OIZEASGFBq012345 and OIZEASGFBqwrtyup

binary fans? barcodes Il (captial i, lowercase L) and io are great!

The cost? 1(decimal)% of the sanity point meter (i know some of you are short on sanity points)

Base names in bold taken from the Misalian base-naming system for no reason except that I thought it would make me sound smart (it doesn't).

Now that Roman has been dethroned and paid for his poor treatment of Jey, I finally feel i can say this: I don't think we give him enough credit for the whole numeral system thing.
