And also cost would be cut making quarters, but that money would go right back into making these halves. and also the money saved would go to making vending machines accept this new shsped and sized coin, let alone the man houts it would take to replace every existing machine. And working at a gas station, I NEVER see half dollars being used unless little timmy robbed his parents or grand parents and needs cigarettes or a cigar...
