Americans already have a decimal currency.

I think you refer to metrication — adopting the international metric (SI) weights and measures.

Yes, the US should certainly do that. They are one of the few countries in the world that have retained pre-SI weights and measures, and I suspect that it is hurting their engineering and trade.
