<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 5754, member: 112&quot;]Just go to a different bank - try several. Ask for rolls of half dollars - sooner or later you&#039;ll find a bank that has them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you go to a dealer - yeah you&#039;ll pay more. You can also buy them direct from the US Mint - but you&#039;ll pay more there too.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several reasons they don&#039;t circulate - people hoard them because they think they are valuable. Other people don&#039;t like them because they think they are too heavy. Banks don&#039;t like them because it cost money for banks to handle coins - primarily for shipping. And still others don&#039;t like them simply because they prefer paper. Add to that that the half dollar coins won&#039;t work in most vending machines - and you have why they don&#039;t circulate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
