<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1360012, member: 22476&quot;]Hey buddy, no reason for the snide remarks. I&#039;m just a person from a younger generation, that missed out, when halves, $2, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills circulated, and I would like to be able to enjoy those times and freedoms myself, just like some of the elder members on this board remember getting to do. Now, is that such a crime?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But there is NO crime in trying to get halves to circulate again. If what I am doing is so wrong, was it wrong when the government circulated halves in the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I do NOT believe that the reason halves do not circulate, is because &quot;People do not want to deal with &quot;large denomination&quot; coins&quot; It is because most vending and self checkout machines do not accept them, and also, banks do not hand out halves (or $2 bills) as needed, which creates an even bigger problem. And if people can deal with two quarters, they sure as H:devil:ll can deal with ONE half, especially seeing as, even though its not by much, but, one half weighs slightly less than two quarters, and if it were redesigned the way I stated it should be, it woiuld be even WAY lighter.</p><p><br /></p><p>So do not give me this <span style="color: #FF0000">LANGUAGE</span> that perople do not want halves or $2 bills, because you do not know that for a fact, seeing as they never see circulation, due to banks not handing them out as needed, and different machines not dispensing them. I believe by trying to get these two denominations circulating, I am doing what is in the best interest for now, seeing as a half has twice the purchasing power of a quarter, and the dollar coin continues to be a flop. And I do not believe people would mind carrying another coin around, so long as it is a &quot;fraction&quot; of a dollar, and not something that has a paper bill to compete with.</p><p><br /></p><p>And another thing. Europe has a sucessfully circulating 50 cent Euro and 2 cent Euro coin, so, what if I were to even go so far as to say &quot;Bring back the U.S. 2 cent coin?&quot; Obviously 50 cent coins do come in handy in some places, so why not here, in the U.S.?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
