Are there cryptocurrencies that are exclusively CPU-minable?

There was an interesting conversation with a friend, in connection with which the question asked in the title arose.

- XPM PrimeCoin- for now cpu-only.
- QRK Quark - Sifcoin clone. CPU only.
- SIC Sifcoin- CPU only.
- CL Copperlark- CPU only.
......
- LTC Litecoin - second only to BTC in numbers of places accepted and market volume, faster than BTC, CPU friendly, GPU -
unfriendly For the test, I started mining on 3 powerful servers (Xeon X5570) at once. Mined 0.03LTC in an hour.

A counter question: do cryptocurrencies exist so that you can calculate them in your mind? Here is happiness: I came to the store, thought for a while, figured it out in my mind, and bought bread.
The complexity of the calculation affects the cost: what's the point in an easily calculated currency - after all, what can be counted on the CPU can certainly be calculated even faster on the video card.

Litecoin , cpu mining is more suitable for it.

ProtoShare (PTS) is also only mined on cpu, but it’s already difficult, so 50% of the currency reserves were mined in almost a month of appearance.

Monero can be mined directly with a wallet
