<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3026586, member: 17665"][USER=59677]@Burton Strauss III[/USER] I agree, the half does not circulate, but this is because of the vending industry not willing to do the change over needed to accept this coin. They did not seem to have a problems with switching to accept dollar coins and install note readers. Has the Mint ever had a serious sit down with them and discuss this? If they did do this change over it would be a boon for the Mint in making more halves for circulation, adding profits to their bottom line. The medals I also agree on, very few people buy them. But if an attractive set were produced, say a set of ten each year at an attractive and reasonable price, this might spark interest in numismatics in a new way as the State quarters did and would be great for album makers, TPG's and the numismatic community as a whole. Just thinking in a positive way and being hopeful I guess. And using the one dollar bill might restart collecting in a different way. Guess I'm just tired of seeing the same ole same ole stuff. Plus I would like possible younger collectors to jump on the wagon and take off from where we oldsters leave off. I'll admit it's wishful thinking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
