Comment on inches plus coins equals metric system
All the bases are 10
12 would have been a better base.
The only thing going for 10 is that’s how many fingers you have if you can only count in ones
There are a total of twelve segments on the four fingers of each hand (thumb excluded) making it just as easy to count to 12.
Or you can count in binary, and get to over 1000 on ten fingers
