<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1271212, member: 22476&quot;]You know, by saying &quot;&quot;octogon-type&quot; coin, I was meaning MULTI-sided coins, but not nessacarily a &quot;true&quot; octogon. I SHOULD have said &quot;muliti-sided coin&quot; Sorry about that. What a dumbass am I. LoL But thanks for the lesson on the &quot;odd&quot; ammount sided coins working better on a new, smaller half. I would suggest a &quot;Nonagon&quot; as the shape for the new half, which is of course, a nine-sided coin, either that, or a septagon/heptagon which is a seven sided shape, might be an option. The less sides on the multi-sided coin, the more extreme difference from the &quot;round&quot; nickel and quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, actually, I think wider circlation of the dollar coin would kill the circulation of the half even further. The reason: Six circulating coins. Five slots in most standard cash registers. (Unless we aloso kill the cent, but then the half would be in the doghouse again when the $2 coin comes)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>thecoinlover:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Susan B. Anthonys may have looked octagon, but to me, they never FELT octagon. They always felt like a round quarter to me with that reeded edge. What I am talking about would be like a slightly more extreme version of the Canadian dollar coin. There should be NO way of even a blind person mistaking the half I am talking about creating from a nickel, quarter, cent, or Canadian dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
