<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Philly Dog, post: 263147, member: 7726&quot;]Even in the sixties when you could still go to the bank and ask for silver dollars, the tellers were glad to get rid of them. Most of the time someone would give you a silver dollar as a gift but we never got one from a store in change.</p><p>However the good old half dollar was used all the time (most coin changers used by paper boys or milk men had a slot for halves) and for some reason after 1964 (1965 to 1970 40% silver) people stopped using them, many were hoarding them plus the mint played some part in it by only minting halves at one mint in 65, 66, 67. As a kid you would use a half to go to the movies not quarters[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
