Q: Which of the following sounds better to the AVERAGE person:

Your meal comes to 2.5 ________.

a) bitmills
b) millibitcoins
c) millibits
d) "m.b.t.c's"
e) bits

Yes, a subjective question, but I think it's safe to assume a poll of the general population would show a preference for "bits" 9 out of 10 times - possibly more.

Nah, if you insist on a one syllable word, use mils. Far too much use of "bits" in the world already, you're just adding to the confusion:

the Danish West Indies used stamps denominated in bits and francs with 100 bits to the franc; the lowest value was five bits

Britain, Ireland and parts of the former British Empire, where before decimalisation a British-style currency of "pounds, shillings and pence" was in use, the word "bit" was used differently. Rather than representing a specific monetary value, it was applied colloquially to a range of low-denomination coins in the sense of "coin" or "piece of money".
