<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1292223, member: 22476&quot;]The title of this post was going to be &quot;Recycle the current 10 year supply of large Kennedy halves for a smaller &quot;Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act&quot; series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that this plan will most likely never go through, due to the billions of dollar coins in storage, but perhaps, if they take all of the Kennedy halves in their storage vaults, and melt them down, and make small thicker nonagon shped Famous Dogs halves, as I proposed, maybe there will be more storage space if they get rid of those huge clunky Kennedys and turn them into small half doggie dollars, maybe vendors would upgrade to take the new halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am getting back into this discussion, because I had a few questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>0. I may be opening my business next spring, and was thinking that, if I start making good money, I would like to hire a decent lobbyist group to fight for the Famous Dogs half dollar idea, a $1 and $2 bill redesign, and $200, $500, and $1,000 bills. I have read that lobbyists cost anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000 a month, but my father said the lobbyists would just lie to me for the money and say they are lobbying when they are not. How do I make sure something is getting done on the issues?</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Do you think that, for the Famous Dogs Halves, I should appeal to the vending industry? It sure would cut down on trips to the quarter tubes. And the President of NAMA did mention possibly upgrading for a downsized half. (I know dollar coins would too, but that may be a pipe dream) Should the coins be copper in color, since they will be a lot bigger and thicker than a penny, and a polygon shape, for even easier ways to distinguish they two coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Do you think I should appeal to major banks and casinos for $200, $500, and $1,000 bills? Casinos should be a sure thing. Especially those high roller slots with the $500 and $1,000 ONE pull slot. $500 and $1,000 bills would be popular there, and they can also make a $200 ONE pull slot machine as well. Oh, and even though this is kind of futile, if I get in good with the casino industry, should I ask them about lobbying for the reissue of the $5,000 and $10,000 bills and issuance of a $2,000 bill as well? You can go through $10,000 pretty quickly in Vegas if you&#039;re not careful. I know I have said that $2,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills should be issued around 2020, but even now, I can see use in a $10,000 bill. For exaple, there are houses in my area selling for $10,000-$15,000. Could you imagine that all you would have to do to buy that house is hand a bank one or two bills?! Thats insane! Cool, but insane! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And no, I DO NOT support going for a larger denomination than $10,000, and would be very much satisfied with up to a $1,000 bill. Maybe if I&#039;m still alive in 2050, I will lobby for $20,000, $50,000 and $100,000 bills. :devil:</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there anyone I should appeal to for the redesign of the $1 and $2 bills? &quot;Save the Greenback&quot; or &quot;Americans for George&quot; maybe? Maybe they would like to see the $1 and $2 bills get a makeover, to send out a message that &quot;The paper dollar is going no where fast&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But anyway, yeah. Why not melt down all Kennedy BIG halves, and recycle them into smaller halves, starting with a series (like the Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act&quot;) on the new smaller halves to draw attention to them? Then put Kennedy&#039;s face back on the new, smaller halves, as if his image were never taken off the half dollar denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
