U.S. Mint announces fractional SAE's

Due to the higher cost of silver and collector demand, the mint will issue 1/2 ounce Silver American Eagles in 2012. To start the new issue, the coins will be issued in a reverse proof format, then in subsequent years, coins will be issued with burnished finishes, conventional proof, and later, rusty dies, diebreaks, and cuds will be offered every April 1.

I wonder how many people figured the 5 oz pucks were just an April Fools joke.
