<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1886630, member: 66"]The 1932 Washington did start out to be a commemorative half dollar but the decision was made to change it to a quarter to make them more available to the people during the depression. A half dollar was a lot of money back then and with the hard times it was felt that most people would not be able to keep ahold of a half dollar, but they might be able to keep a quarter. They wanted everyone to be able to keep a coin of the revered man.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
