Of course, halves don't circulate anymore. Quarters and dimes...and nickels do. Back when, we used to compare QA inspecter's #'s and hope we could get to the bottom of the pallets. First in, first out. In other words, a pallet of halves silting in a courier's or bank vault would have the oldest boxes on the bottom, with newer boxes on top being shipped out and newer supply coming in replacing them, therefore the older boxes (with the most silver) never seeing light of day. Those were the boxes we wanted. I still believe there's lots of silver out there in rolls and circulating...has always been there, naturally. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
