<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1712750, member: 44079&quot;]the Half Dollar coin.&nbsp; To me, it filled a need.&nbsp; As a young boy, I got one a week as my allowance.&nbsp; Sometimes I would (unable to withstand the temptation any more) go off to the Woolworth&#039;s on Fordham Road with 5 or 6 of them in my pocket.&nbsp; Who knew they were about to vanish?&nbsp; I think it is all well and good that the Mint decided to pull the half dollar Kennedy coin out of general circulation, but I believe the decision to not replace it with an alternate kept in circulation was a poor one.&nbsp; I would like to see the Mint bring back the half dollar coin, even if it was struck in a base metal, as long as it was in the original size (perhaps in one of the original designs, just gold colored), I think it would again be a popular coin.&nbsp; I have dozens of current penny rolls I would love to replace with a few dozen current half dollars.&nbsp; Simply put when a store clerk gives me more than .50 in change I grimace at that and would much prefer the first .50 be just one coin instead of a mix of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
