Half Dollars...should They Be Discontinued?

SFDukie, I asked for the info so I could understand more clearly this life philosophy. I found all of the intro to be just as you stated. I felt it was very preachy and assumtive. I went on further and started to think I was reading an "L. Ron Hubbard" Scientology book! The answer is always in the next chapter or book or just around the corner. However,to each his own. I am unimpressed thus far, but will continue reading further. Mike

This line sort of stuck out to me....
E-mail me, with suggestions, links, books and documents for inclusion in this website. If they are in harmony with my purpose, I will include them (not much "community" in this statement)

Just sneeking back on topic.
The USA half dollar is a decent size coin. About the size of the Australian 20c piece.
The Australian 50c piece is Larger still and is extremely popular. It is 12 sided and weighs 15.55 grams and is 31.5mm across.
I really don't see why "the public" don't like half dollars. If they were more available I'm sure they'd be used.
I remember my brother saying that people didn't like the Susan Anthony dollar and He'd always reply, "I like em, I'll take a million of them". LOL

I have heard this story in the halls of congress. There are House and Senate members who want the SBA dollars melted in an effort to get the Sacagawea dollar to circulate. The new Presdiential dollar bill has language in it to make the Sacagawea a permanent design once the Presidential series is complete. As of today, there is NO bill to remove the SAB dollar. Once the new dollar coins are in production, all small dollars will be released by the Federal Reserve to meet consumer demand.

As a coin collector I would be trying to promote the keeping of the half dollar and excerting pressure to make it in either pure silver or sterling, by removal from manufacture besides what I stated previously and appear to have been misunderstood is that when removed we have one less coin to collect, I would have thought a collector would like to have choices, not to see the hobby diminished by various means.. I suppose if I was a greedy man with a huge stockpile of half dollars I probably would encourage their removal as then I would make a huge profit selling them to those who never had one and could only get one from those who hoarded/speculated in them.

LOL, I don't think my brother wanted to "pay" for those Susan B Anthony dollars, just take them off the hands of those who didn't want them and become a millionare. LOL
