<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quartertapper, post: 553013, member: 16104&quot;]Correction. The mint produced 1987 business production halves in mint sets only like it did in 1970. It resumed normal production of halves for circulation in 1988. !n 2002 the Kennedy half was produced as a collector coin at the mint and has been ever since. They are now sold for a premium through the mint because of the amount currently sitting unused in bank vaults across the country. And as for the mint keeping production of cents going for collectors sake, I would doubt that. They produce commemoratives EXCLUSIVELY for collectors and we still don&#039;t get what we want. Why would they operate at a loss just for collectors. They keep production going because some hard headed individuals in Washington speculate that ceasing production would cause increased inflation. Talk about your conspiricy theorists! I think when you weigh the benefits and disadvantages, we&#039;d be far ahead creating a decent design on the reverse for one year and then hanging up the cent altogether.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
