<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3300050, member: 66&quot;]Most likely we would still have Franklin halves.&nbsp; Remembers if Kennedy hadn&#039;t dies, then under the Act of 1890 the design couldn&#039;t have been changed (without an act of Congress which is what it took to get kennedy ON the half) until 1974.&nbsp; And then of course withthe bicentennial jut two years away I really couldn&#039;t see them taking one of the founding fathers off the coin.&nbsp; So He probably would have been safe until 1977 or 78.&nbsp; Then consider that at this time the Treasury Dept was VERY much against any design changes to the coinage.&nbsp; (It was a&nbsp; fight to get the Bicentennial coins)&nbsp; The Treasury didn&#039;t change their attitude about design changes until they saw the windfall profits the state quarters produced, so it is unlikely they would have approved a change to remove Franklin before then.&nbsp; of course after 2000 they might have thought it would be great to have the half dollar as a multiple coin design annually item as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
