<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 2635241, member: 73104&quot;]Not to be argumentative, Doug, but there is plenty of room in the standard cash register drawer for half dollars, although many businesses use the far left compartment for rolls of coins.&nbsp; Half dollars are too big and bulky, so many people refuse to use them.&nbsp; Years ago I worked at a store and when someone paid with half dollars I had a heck of a time getting rid of them.&nbsp; People flat out refused to take them in change.&nbsp; The large Eisenhower dollar follows the same too large and too heavy argument and never circulated for that very reason.&nbsp; The small dollar size confused people as they were close to the size of a quarter.&nbsp; I agree that our coinage needs changing.&nbsp; Having spent time in Europe I grew to like their coinage and would hope that at some point we fashion ours similarly, keeping in mind that size and appearance are paramount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
