<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 1359107, member: 2098"]As a collector, I like half dollars (and cents) but as a consumer I don't like them too much. Why are you calling on vendors to spend thousands of dollars for their vending and self-checkout machines to dispense halves when they are already equipped to easily dispense two quarters? I would venture to say that your calling vendors is in vain and that they may well laugh about you after they've hung up with you. Yes, the dollar coin has lost to the dollar bill but that is because that is what the American people by and large wish to use. Why should the dollar bill be phased out forcing everyone to use dollar coins when a meager 0.001% of the population even cares about using them in their daily commerce?</p><p> </p><p>As a side note, I believe that changing currency to accomodate blind or visually impaired people is an uneccessary move initiated by activists as the technology already exists to help them. They can use convenient, hand-held scanners to read and detect what currency denominations they have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
