It seems like the time to start pricing things millibitcoins might be approaching already.
At the current exchange rate of $31, a dollar is 32 millibits.
There are already quite a few foreign currencies worth the same or less than a millibit, 18 listed here:

I would expect that bitcoin adoption would increase if the exchanges, wallets, and shops showed prices in millibits today. Why? Because everyone's first foray into bitcoin is buying them, not selling them. So $31 each sounds expensive, even though prices *in* bitcoin sound cheap. No one cares how few bitcoins you can trade for a can of coke, unless they already have some bitcoins.
