<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3270613, member: 66&quot;]There couldn&#039;t have been because clad coinage wasn&#039;t approved until May of 1965, and it was the 40% silver in the halves compromise that got the votes from the silver producing states in the Senate.&nbsp; Without them the Coinage Act of 1965 and clad coinage wouldn&#039;t have passed.&nbsp; Oh I&#039;m sure it would have eventually, but we may not have gotten clad coinage until 1966 or 67.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Printing of both the $1000 and the $500 was discontinued June 26, 1946.&nbsp; In 1969 it was mandated that any $500&#039;s or $1000&#039;s received at banks be returned to the Fed for destruction.&nbsp; Before that time they could be reissued by the banks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
