Getting the Public to Use Half Dollars and Dollars by Ami .
What are your ideas on getting the public to widely use half dollar and dollar coins in everyday transactions? I think the following would work: 1. End production of Kennedy halves in 2004. The last year should have a special date, 1964-2004. Starting in 2005, the half dollar would have...
