<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1134652, member: 22476&quot;]Well, seriously, in all reality, how bad could it be for vending machine companies to spend a few million dollars to upgrade their machines to accept and dispense halves as needed? CoinStar coin counting and depositing machines did if for both, halves and dollars. I know it was just for them to make more money, but still.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ALL vending and self checkout machines made after today&#039;s date (but it should have been sooner) SHOULD be tooled to accept and dispense halves and $2 bills as needed. A simple change in machine designs that are not even made yet, can not possibly cost that much, to them antyway. People would probably complain or hoard for a few months, then get over it and/or spend some of their hoarded stash, knowing that $2 bills and halves are there in circulation to stay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And no, I do NOT agree to taking the half or the $2 bill out of general circulation and only having comemeratives or other numismatic items. No offense to those who like the idea, but I feel its a horrible idea, because I enjoy spending halves, $2 bills and dollar coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My favorite oddities in order from most to least favorite go:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>#1 $2 bills</p><p>#2 halves</p><p>#3 dollar coins (Now THESE are what we should stop making, because we already have a $1 denomination in circulation: the $1 bill. And I doubt the government will ever grow the guts to eliminate it. But we do not have a $2 coin or a 50 cent bill, so I say, keep the $2 bill and the half dollar coin. They actually do (or should) have a purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
