[QUOTE="Siwash, post: 770762, member: 18091"]The Kennedy design is old and the coin, at its current size, serves no purpose. They should use the half for special events/commemoratives; the Mint made a mistake using the quarter for this purpose. If I ran Treasury, I'd go willy-nilly with the half. First, I'd introduce a new quarter design---no Washington, use Washington on the dollar coin (and drop the prez dollar crap). For that matter, no presidents---we've had too many president coins. So spruce up the quarter. Drop Kennedy. Find a good half dollar obverse---something really pretty, not computerized corporate styling; for the reverse, introduce 2-3 special event backs per year. The larger half-dollar size lends itself to public art.[/QUOTE]
