OspreyCoins Pillar of the Community United States 932 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 6:03 pm Poll Question The half dollar is often thought of as a rare coin by, erm, less knowledgeable people. Most of the people who think this think this way because they see it so seldom in circulation, however, if it became a little less bulky, and if it had a fresh redesign, it could come back! Poll Choices Yes, bring it back! No, it's dead like it should be. I don't care, do whatever. Edited by OspreyCoins 07/30/2015 6:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 6:16 pm I think they should eliminate the quarter, nickel and penny, round to the nearest $.10 and bring back the half dollar. So I voted yes. Report this Post to the Staff

Fox Pillar of the Community 708 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 12:21 am You KNOW my answer to this. Eliminate the cent, nickel and quarter, bring back the 20 cent coin to replace the quarter, and issue a new designed and newly sized half. I know some people say "All we need is the dime, the half, and $1, $2 and $5 coins, if we were to simply "shift the decimal" and would easily carry dimes as the new cent, I would still like the 20 cent coin as our "new 2 cent coin" seeing as the "fifth" would actually be worth something. I really wish we had the 2 cent coin still...like the Euro does. No need for the 3 cent coin, though. Edited by Fox 07/31/2015 12:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

So I voted yes. I would be good with this. Need to kill off the one, two, and five dollar notes as well, replace them all with coins. A figurative shifting of the decimal point.

OspreyCoins Pillar of the Community United States 932 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 10:01 am Keep the $1 and $2 coins for collectors only... Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 10:07 am No, they need to circulate. Printing one, two, and even five dollar notes is a waste. At the very least the one dollar note needed to go thirty years ago.

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 10:13 am Well, you are right though. Inflation is the reason why the cent and nickel are unnecessary today.

I cringe thinking about how the US Mint might do a newly-sized half. The Chuck-e Cheese tokens the mint calls dollar coins are an embarrassment to to the USA! Report this Post to the Staff
