<p>[QUOTE="whopper64, post: 8179291, member: 101364"]I think I read somewhere that the Mint stopped producing Kennedy Halves for circulation because, well, they weren't circulating. Historically it seems (IMHO) that halves and silver or clad dollars do not circulate well because they haven't been accepted as pocket change for payment of items. The SBA's were too much like a quarter and were confusing to many as well. The Sacagawea/Native American and Presidential dollars were drastically cut mintage wise, I guess because they weren't circulating at all, and there weren't enough collectors to buy up the huge surplus. The Mint, I feel, made a good decision to change the reverse of the Sacagawea/Native American coins, keeping the collectors happy. I don't know about the Innovation dollars, but I have no interest in collecting them. By the way, nice collection of Kennedy's![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
