<p>[QUOTE="RICHARD K, post: 3009338, member: 82510"]I haven't received a half dollar in change in years .I guess retailers just get quarters from the bank. I am going to get some $2 bills from my local bank with some halves and pay my little Japanese girl at the pharmacy for my meds. and see her expression. I'm pretty sure she will be a little confused and ask the manager if the $2's are real, he or she probably will also be confused. ( they are all very young ) I personally like the Kennedy halves but have been around a long time, but I know if the mint changes they will come up with some crazy half dollar that will be like the S.B.A looser. I buy Kennedy and Bens. for survival cash (90% only). very surprised at a lot of the Kennedy halves are almost uncirculated, I guess because people knew they were removing silver from coins and bought all they could in the 60's & hoarded, till now, and selling at $7+ a coin. I am waiting for JPMorgan and other banks to stop manipulating silver prices and silver will rebound hopefully. something is out of whack when silver to gold is 80 to1 ratio. BUT STILL LIKE THOSE OLD BENJAMIN'S[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
