<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7454204, member: 101855&quot;]Half dollars were more useful than silver dollars, but as it is with virtually everything, you can have too many of them. You can mint them to the point where the economy can’t use them, and they end up stored in vaults just like the Morgan silver dollars. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the Bland-Alison Bill had called for half dollars or quarters, the mint capacity would have had to have been greatly increased because of the huge increases in the mintages that would been required. If we had to enact this legislation to satisfy the silver lobby, silver dollars resulted in the least amount of government excess and wasted taxpayer dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
