<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 208191, member: 4626&quot;]Do have one theory though... as you know the reason they are still minting the Sacagawea is due to the insistence by a senator from North Dakota that Sacagawea still be honored along with the presidents being honored by the presidential series.&nbsp; Perhaps this has similiar justification?&nbsp; I do know of a senator from Massachusetts who would probably like to see this coin&#039;s subject remain honored...</p><p><br /></p><p>Still that would be a justification for minting this half dollar specifically; I&#039;m not sure what the justification for continuing to mint the denomination that&#039;s so little used would be in general, other than maybe force of habit, which is how a lot of beureucracies perpetuate themselves.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know I guess... it just baffles me though when people talk about eliminating the penny, the nickel, the $1 bill, or the $2 bill, the subject of the half dollar never seems to come up, which is much less used than any of them (well maybe not less than the $2 bill... I also wonder why we keep printing that!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
