So the mint could say we are changing the dime and quater but we are not taking the silver out of the halves(magicans trick) Play on works ..Yea just half of the silver from the halves....</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I love my wonderful country but sometimes think they do things to CYA .And I would prob do the same in I was in this role in our gov&#039;t</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Just a thought ..Eddie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
