<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1850729, member: 26302&quot;]I honestly do not know. I do know there have been commemorative halves in circulation in this country historically, and even modern commemorative halves have been spent. I simply do not have any personal experience with it, but do know they show up at times in bank trays. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the bigger problem is producing a coin with such little silver for such high face value. The silver dollar you show has over 3/4 ounce of silver and only $1 face value. The Canadian issues have just a little silver and $20 face. I think the Canadian coins have a MUCH higher chance of being spent than our low face value pieces. I just think its bad form to promise that something is &quot;legal tender&quot;, and then not have the government force acceptance of it in commerce. To play a lawyer&#039;s game like, &quot;yes its legal tender, but not CIRCULATING legal tender&quot; is a bunch of crud. Legal tender is legal tender, and should not be &quot;spun&quot; like a lawyer&#039;s sleazy defense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
