<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 5767, member: 487&quot;]Well the fed is not that good at marketing. The dollar coin is a perfect example. They spend millions on advertising a coin that most people have never seen in circulation. The half dollar is a dead issue. Trying to get the industries to modify their services to include this would be a major undertaking. No cash registers have a slot for these coins. No vending machines, no rail systems, and the list goes on and on. </p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion is make a few friends at the bank, grocery store, and restaurant. Make it worth their while to remember you. Give your friend a coin when you see them. A wheat cent in a 2X2 works great. A worn Indian cent or Buffalo nickel is a really good impression. Ask them to keep an eye out for any coins or currency that strikes them. If they find you a few coins, throw in a little extra for them. It doesn&#039;t take much to show your appreciation. The tellers at our local bank have my cell phone number taped on their adding machine, so that they can call the minute they find something. Drop off a business card with all your friends. Make them aware that you are looking for coins. Too many collectors have a bad habit of keeping their hobby a secret. </p><p>That doesn&#039;t mean you shouldn&#039;t be safe, just don&#039;t keep it a secret.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
