Title 31 Sec 5112 specifies what denominations MAY be produced, and Sec 51111 specifies that they SHALL be produced in whatever amounts the Secretary of the Treasury believes are needed to meet the needs of the United States.&nbsp; If the Secretary decides the country doesn&#039;t NEED half dollars they don&#039;t have to strike any.&nbsp; If he decides the country NEEDS just enough to satify the amount they can get collectors to buy, that is what they will make.&nbsp; So their production is up to the whim of the Secretary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
