<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 678478, member: 18382&quot;]Yak, I basically agree with you. At least they did change the portrait on the Jefferson nickel, so that kind of closes out the old nickel series. You know, they can change the portraits to facing busts (similar to the current nickel) to make some uniformity of the coinage. And I&#039;m still hoping for Teddy Roosevelt on the new quarters for the National Park series, but somehow, I just don&#039;t think the Mint has the courage to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>First series to be changed or eliminated is the half dollar. It just doesn&#039;t circulate anymore. Been that way since the 1960&#039;s. The combination of a Kennedy portrait plus silver content (until 1970) induced widespread hoarding that was never overcome. People just saved them and got used to not spending them. So we need a new type of half dollar or just stop it. And I love collecting the Kennedy half, too. Maybe this size coin can be made into a circulating commemorative, or even a $2 or $5 denomination coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
