Why make up a new word when the mill (or mille or mil) is already used with many currencies?

Mill (currency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mill or mille (₥) (sometimes mil in the UK, when discussing property taxes in the United States, or previously in Cyprus and Malta) is a now-abstract unit of currency used sometimes in accounting. In the United States, it is a notional unit equivalent to 1⁄1000 of a United States dollar (a tenth of a cent). In the United Kingdom it was proposed during the decades of discussion on the decimalization of the pound as a 1⁄1000 division of the pound sterling. Several other currencies used the mill, such as the Maltese lira.
The term comes from the Latin "millesimum", meaning "thousandth part".

There is already a word for a thousandth unit of a currency:  a mill.  A mill is a thousandth of a dollar.
The word mill appears in the U.S. Constitution, along with the words dime and cent.
I mentioned in another post that at one time there were actual mill coins, issued by some states.  Apparently the feds didn't issue any mills.
The ones I handled as a child were made of red plastic.
I'm going with bitmill or just plain mill.

Agreed we need a good nickname as I plan on giving away a lot of "bits" to friends and family this year.

How are you going to do that? I was planning to do the same, but wasn't sure of the best way. I'd like to give them a QR code or something?
