<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 553831, member: 4552&quot;]The problem with the half is it is fading away from usage. They are slowly becoming only a collector coin. Same with the larger Dollar like the Ike dollar. Many stores do not have a place for them in thier cash registers. Conductors on public transportation that carry a coin changer do not have a place for them. Pay phones, what is left of them, do not have a place for a half dollar. Some coin counting machines jam if a half dollar is put in them. Most vending machines everywhere have no place for a half dollar. Many people do not even carry change anymore so a large coin is even more of something they don&#039;t want to carry. </p><p>Eventually even the Mint may stop the production of them or make them a commemorative only coin. Just a coin like the .20 piece that is doomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
