<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 2676579, member: 38849&quot;]This is sort of a side issue, but you have to wonder why commerce still fools around with half dollars at all.&nbsp; I have not given or received one in years, surely; they won&#039;t work in vending machines; there&#039;s no place in the cash drawer for them; and there&#039;s an ample supply of quarters to take their place.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And yet around the world, coins with a foreign-exchange value of more than 50 cents are proliferating -- the British £1 coin, the €1 coin, etc., maybe it&#039;s due to inflation or the fact that a coin lasts 20 (50?) (100?) times longer than its paper counterpart?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The banks must get tired of shuffling them around when they are functionally obsolete.&nbsp; I am guessing there&#039;s as much resistance to half dollars as there is to SBA and Presidential $1 coins...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
