<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1757401, member: 36864"]Not about paper currency specifically, but Franklin was bumped in favor of Kennedy on the half dollar shortly after his assassination. I wasn't around to know if it started any controversy, but I'm sure that more than a few had something to say about the change to our change. A strange side effect was that half-dollar pieces suddenly stopped circulating. It is fairly difficult to find a well circulated Kennedy half.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
