<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1223175, member: 22476&quot;]Okay,</p><p><br /></p><p>As some of you may know, if you&#039;ve seen my thread in the paper currency board, that my &quot;Famous Dogs&quot; half dollar idea didn&#039;t go over well, as I expected, so I proposed a new bill called the &quot;Historic Buildings &amp; Monuments Half Dollar Coin Act&quot; which would still feature President John F. Kennedy on the obverse, either a redesigned image or the same. I left that open, legislation-wise, but the reverse would feature four historic buildings each year, over a period of 8 years, with the White House being portrayed first. Then other buidings like the Moticello, Lincoln Memmorial, Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty (even though she is already enjoying a LOT of time on the PrezBux <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), maybe even, although its not a &quot;building&quot; type of monument, Mount Rushmore could be featured as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually always joked about the Washington Monument as a kid. I called it &quot;the Giant Sword&quot; because, well, it always looked like a giant sword with the handle stuck in the ground. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, I have read on Treasury websites that the government can NOT &quot;force&quot; &quot;any&quot; denomination of coin or currency on the general public, but I was just now reading someone&#039;s comment somewhere saying that, vending companies would have to be legislated to accept $1 coins, and I have read that Congress did pass a &quot;Removal of Barriers to get the $1 Coin Circulating&quot; so my question is, can I put in my legislation that all vendors and self checkout companies be legislated to where they must be able to accept and dispense the new halves, and new $2 bills in change as needed, as well? If so, I would like to include that wording in my bill, before I submit it to the woman who is helping me with these issues. I doubt you could force any vendors to upgrade, but I am not totally sure, so, could someone please answer this question for me? Thanks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. If Independence Hall appears on a half dollar again, perhaps it would be wise to put the back of that building on the reverse of its half dollar, since the front was already on the Bicentennial half. It could be just like the old and new $100 bills. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
