<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 3136169, member: 2098&quot;]The solution for banks and the government, which has an ever-increasing supply of half dollars due to their decline in usage at casinos, is for them to be discontinued from being distributed in circulation (which unfortunately will require congressional approval) and all extant supplies to be destroyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, don&#039;t get me wrong. I like half dollars from a collecting point of view. However, when the only demand for a monetary instrument is to mine them for a semi-precious metal, it is a sign that it is long since time to say goodbye. Banks will be happy for not having to deal with and handle these heavy and cumbersome coins and the government will be happy for not having to pay millions on an annual basis to store them. Ditto for logistical cash companies not having to mess about transporting, counting, rolling and boxing what are essentially boat anchors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
