<p>[QUOTE=&quot;proofartoncircs, post: 1086839, member: 25952&quot;]Strangely enough, that is very similiar to conditions in 1952 when I went to work for the A&amp;P Supermarkets.&nbsp; We never ever got a roll of halves from the bank.&nbsp; We got a few halves from our customers and gave those out as change as we got them in.&nbsp; (I learned never to offer a half to a woman.&nbsp; She might have a little change purse with slots for coins, but no half slot.)&nbsp; But we never had many halves in our cash drawers.&nbsp; I presume banks, which certainly had many rolls of halves in those days, were giving them out to their customers.&nbsp; Then with the Kenedy and silver situiations led to a shortage, they got out of the habit of using them and that was the end of the circulating half dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
