Save the government some money. Do it like the old ones. Same material as the dime but half size.

Then buy tweezer stock.

    Half dimes suck big time. Who would want a half dime of ANY year?

    Seriously though, It would be pretty cool to bring back the half-dime.

    What this country needs is a good nickel half dime.

    No, I'm afraid they would think we were poofy guys.

    So, in the tradition of all good MEN, I will renege on the promise and go get drunk.

    Best idea yet! But make the nickel worth TEN cents and use the dime for the half dime. No increase in minting costs and immeasurable public confusion.

    A.......delightful....... boondoggle.

    Now THIS could happen. Think of all the laughs for the legislators.

    The day will come when there's no more pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or halves. The prices will be in Dollars and they will keep moving the decimal point to the left. Don't laugh, this is the government's way of paying off national debts. I have seen it happen in Europe and through out South America in my life time. About 20 years ago I watch the Mexican Peso go from 12 to the Dollar to 2,500. Americans with deposits there lost billions.

    The problem is not so much talking to ones self.......

    Rather, its getting answeres from oneself.

    How about a copper half dime the size of the cent?

    There is lots more to discuss here. If it's adopted....which seems quite likely.... should it say half ..DISME?

    I say bring back the real dollar coin. No more of these mamby-pamby Sacs. image Let's use the Silver Eagle/Walking Liberty design to make real dollar coins.
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Yes, the half dime should definitely be brought back. It should be made of pure zinc, and have Susan B. Anthony on the front, except they should re-design her portrait to be much uglier than it was on the dollars. At least this is what Congress would want if they decided to bring it back.

    Maybe they should have Vida Guerra (of Peace Dollar fame image) pose as Ms. Liberty and put that on a dollar coin! image
