<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 379502, member: 11521&quot;]Tuesday as I was beginning my return odyssey from NYC I boarded the M60 bus that would take me to LaGuardia. The fare was $2 and was payable only in coins or a transit card. I had 6 quarters and a Kennedy half but the driver said the device would not accept the half dollar. A guy sitting in a wheelchair on the bus overhead the conversation and let me know (by wildly waving his arm and shouting) that he would let me use his transit card for the $2 in coins. Deal. He was beaming while he inspected the half dollar. He said he had wanted one for a long time and he planned to keep this one. I&#039;m glad I could give him something to be happy about.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thursday I went to KFC and after paying my change due was 70 cents. The cashier casually handed me a 1991-D Kennedy half and two dimes. I was a bit taken aback because I cannot remember the last time I received a half dollar in change. I spend plenty of them just to get them into circulation but I almost never see any others in circulation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So at the end of the week I ended up with a zero net gain in half dollars as I simply exchanged one Kennedy half for another for a companion to my well-worn 1994-D Kennedy half pocket piece. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, where to spend the &#039;91-D . . .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
