i think the fed needs to start melting some of these down.i'm tired of going through box after box of these and finding nothing!!i mean if i could find a commemorative or one from the 1800's once in a while it would make life worth living for.you know what i mean?nobody even wants to use them in circulation anyways.a lot of these the edges are so worn the machine wont even take them.i think the half dollar needs a new image.any thoughts for a boring winter day?

The only reason Chuck Norris isn't already on all forms of currency, is because every time a $10 bill would be used, it would roundhouse kick itself into 200 nickels.
 

The day obama is on the half dollar is the day i retire from crh.

Not to mention how many half dollars that joke will put into circulation.
 

I'm all for Obama being on the half. Can anyone guess why?

Think about it.

Chuck Norris. Finally a name I recognize !!! But who is this Obama they keep talking about ?
 

Nothing wrong with saying you don't want certain people on coins but let's remember to keep politics itself out of the thread...






American by birth, Patriot by choice.

I would rather die standing on my two feet defending our Constitution than live a lifetime on my knees......
 

Dont worry guys, im sure Obama will just say we're in a state of national emergency and put his face on the half dollar soon.
 

I come to Treasurenet for metal detecting, coin roll hunting, and related categories. I'm tired of the people who find it necessary to turn just about everything political.

Original discussion was on faces on coins as such talking about Obama being on a coin or not being on a coin is within the discussion, no different than why someone would want or not want any other president on a coin...

keep other politics out of it.

Why should the design include a person? How about the Fugio half? An attractive design in my book and decidedly retro. I like the motto: Mind your business. Or better yet, lady LIBERTY. I don't like politicians on money. What have ANY of them done for us lately?
 

Its true.

We live in an "Obama Nation".

We can see Obama halves, and than the halve nots who cant afford a $10 roll.

A Justin Bieber half would get them back in. Circulation. All the little girls would spend them
 

Why not Lady Liberty? She's awesome and a much prettier expressive symbol. Besides, wasn't it George Washington who hated the thought of putting real people on coins? He was opposed to himself being on coins, as he didn't want to be seen as a king or monarch-like leader with his face on everything.

Guess times change huh?

Liberty is just a memory. All the cool Dictators have their faces on coins..
