John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 07:46 am Just wondering if anyone collects them? I just checked the bay to try and find out when the mint stopped using the $50 cent canvas bags and started using the ballistic huge totes? Then I started wondering the values as a collectible. Seems like 2001 was the newest I found on the bay. Also they have black writing and some had red. Is one rare? Is there a web site devoted to them? Thanks for reading. Here is what they used to look like https://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-D-MIN...047675.l2557 and here is what they now look like John1 Edited by John1 04/28/2018 08:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 09:17 am I hate it when inappropriate words are applied to "new" items. It just leads to confusion. For example, ballistic bags. I'm guessing it isn't a trade name. Are they used as a projectile, their shape, weight, or other characteristics influenced by gravity as they go from launch to landing? No. While it's probably the kind of polymer (nylon) used to make them, why not just say that? Just another problem with the casual use of the English language <emoji steam coming out of the ears> Had to get that off my chest; 1024 kg of zinc and copper can be very uncomfortable.
