<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoNitz, post: 2456354, member: 78453&quot;]I&#039;m especially fond of the JFK Half; only missing the 98-matte. However, I think it should be both commemorative AND discontinued after 2017 - here&#039;s why:</p><p>1) The cent must cease; likewise, the paper-dollar.</p><p>2) Put the Lincoln design on the 5-cent nickel AND create a rather generic 2-cents coin reminiscent of our old type (this coin would probably last 5-6-years or until folks just get used to rounding-to-nearest-.05 for change).</p><p>3) FDR Dime stays as well as quarters-program (might consider all famous Americans, however: Jimmy Hendrix; W.C.Fields; Robert Frost; Mark Twain; Judy Garland, Roy Rogers, etc.)</p><p>4) After the limited-JFK-Birthday-Half sells out, sometime the 3rd-week in April, 2017, roll out the new, golden Jefferson-$5-coin with same specs as the obsolete half-dollar!</p><p>5) Pump up the volume of Native-1$-coins as the Washington dollar bill is discontinued.</p><p>6) Congress shall allow states to issue coins representative of their respective sales tax - not just for convenience, but also to fill demand for coinage due to all the hoarders of the old 1-Cent, and new 2-Cents coins! Whenever state sales tax should change, simply turn them it to any bank and redeem per-piece the new-value-coin. This will also make us much more aware of just what we all pay our governments directly from consumption. </p><p>I believe the above accommodations would not only save the government(s) 100s-of-millions of dollars over time but would ALSO serve in expanding the hobby of numismatics![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
