<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 844914, member: 22476&quot;]Here is another topic about the half dollar I thought of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I read a lot of times that the Mint wants to change the composition of the cent, nickel, dime, quarter, and half. So my question is, if halves are only being minted mainly for collectors and at a premium to buy circulation grade halves, why don&#039;t they just stop making them all together? Keep in mind that I DO NOT want that to happen, but if the Mint is so concerned in coin minting material costs, why not just ax the half? I mean, do they mint halves when supplies get low, just like how the BEP prints more $2 bills when the number of those get low? Just curious.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and by the way, I was talking to a manager at my local Meijer, about the self checkouts not accepting halves. I asked if there were coin tubes in there for the coins, and one person said &quot;no&quot; which I find hard to believe, because, where do all of those coins go? Anyway, so this manager comes to me and says &quot;Can I help you?&quot; and I told him, &quot;Yeah, I noticed that these self checkouts accept $2 bills and dollar coins, but do not accept half dollars, yet the half fits the slot perfectly, so is there possibly a way to add a coin tube, or reprogram the machines to take them?&quot; And he said &quot;I really don&#039;t know how that works, because we are not the ones who program the machines&quot; so I said, maybe I should try to talk to the self checkout machine makers and see if the machines could be modified to take halves. I would also like to ask the self checkout manufacturer if they can program their machines to dispense $2s and halves, as I said. I know I&#039;ll probably lose, but my battle to get $2 bills and halves to circulate once more is not over yet. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
