<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 50192, member: 3011"]Last year while in the bank I decided to ask for a few rolls of half dollars, looking for silver coins of course. The teller was a young lady who gave me a funny look and replied, "You mean dollars?" I told her no, I wanted half dollars. It was clear she had never heard of half dollars and didn't believe they existed, but didn't want to say so in front of me. She asked the teller next to her for half dollars in a funny voice (to make sure everyone knew she knew there was on such thing), but that teller said she had never seen any. The branch manager overheard this, and told me to wait while she looked around. She came back with three rolls from the vault, which was everything they had. So I took them. I never thought it would be that difficult to locate half dollars, and I didn't realize that many people under 30 have never heard of them. Oh yes, I found one 40% Franklin out of three rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
