I said do away with the fifty cent piece....the money spent. To mint these could be put to better use....</p><p>And the stock pile of dollar need be reintroduced and the paper dollar be deleted.&nbsp; Again for the money spent printing.</p><p>As a collector I cringe saying this....but as a realist it makes sense.</p><p>The feds are sitting on tens of thousands dollar coins not being used yet still mint more.</p><p>This reminds me of the late 70&#039;s the goverment in it wisdom paid dairy farmers to produce cheese....to the sum that it was cheaper to give it away to lower income citizens than store the cheese.</p><p>It was costing the feds millions of storage fees to store over produced cheese.</p><p>Then they reversed the mistake and paid farmers not to produce dairy products.</p><p>As a collector do I like these ideas no not really...but from a business point of view it just a waste of money do produce more of something that you all ready are loosing money on,in storage.</p><p>Our neighbors to the north has done so as well many other world nations ......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
