<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Travlntiques, post: 1754194, member: 39129&quot;]I think it has something to do with valuation. Back in the 1960&#039;s, accounting for inflation, the Half Dollar was about the equivalent to a $5 coin today. It was easily spent on goods and logical to have in your pocket. Where as now days, you can&#039;t really buy anything for a single 50-cent piece besides maybe a pack of gum so you would have to carry a whole roll full of them. If the Mint started making larger denomination coins, like $5, $10, $20, I think we would see them circulate much more frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
