<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 778526, member: 19456&quot;]They could have used the bigger, original size if they had decided to be a bit more creative. There is no good reason that they couldn&#039;t have made them out of aluminum. Other countries have been using aluminum for decades, at least the 1920s. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If the argument could be made about it then being too light, they could clad them with nickel like they clad the dimes, quarters and halfs. Perhaps the nickel and the aluminum wouldn&#039;t chemically work like copper and nickel do, I don&#039;t really know about that. But I am sure they could come up with something. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for people complaining about them being too heavy, you can&#039;t really take that. People will complain about everything and anything. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I carry an Ike, a handfull of half dollars and a 2 dollar bill with me at all times. I actually leave the halves as tips. I can&#039;t afford to leave dollars as tips right now. Hopefully soon I will, now I just have to see if I can get the dollar coins from the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
