<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1378037, member: 2098&quot;]If you reduce the half-dollar you stand the risk that it could be confused with a dollar coin or quarter. You are talking about changing the shape of the half-dollar coin when American coinage has remained entirely circular for over 220 years with the exception of a few large-denomination gold coins in the nineteenth century. You&#039;re talking about making these changes to make the half-dollar a money saving coin when in fact there is already a large supply of halves available sitting in government vaults. How would making a new and oddly shaped coin from scratch save money when there are already enough extant halves to last for the forseable future?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is not quite true.
