<p>[QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 1270639, member: 22476"]This was an idea I have always thought would be a good one. Make the half between the size of the Quarter and nickel (even though its a very small gap) and make it copper in color, and make it an octogon-like shape, much like the Canadian $1 coin which is not exactly round, so that the new halves can be distinguished from nickels and quarters right away by touch, and make it slightly thicker than the nickel, but just thin enough to work in all current vending machine slots that take small dollars. The size difference would help with people thinking halves are too big and bulky to carry, and the octogon-like shape will make it so that the copper halves are not confused with cents, and if one half weighed less than two quarters, many people may go for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
