Time to bring back the half dime?

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?

The first sign of mental illness is talking to oneself.

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:39AM

The second sign is building destructive devices.

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:39AM

What a dumb idea.

Pity post. +1

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

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:40AM

I hate this thread

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:40AM

I love Dicky Betz

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:41AM

I'm sending my gold coins to Dicky Betz

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:41AM

Pblllltttt on the rest of you.

Hi Dicky

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:42AM

Is this getting Brokeback?

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:42AM

Real HE-MEN won't have anything to do with half dimes.

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:43AM

What this country needs is a good nickel half dime.

DickyBetz · February 9, 2006 7:47AM

<< I'm sending my gold coins to Dicky Betz >>

Should I PM you my addy?

CodyB · February 9, 2006 7:49AM

What if they bought back the Half Dime and kept the Nickel?!?!?!

LanLord · February 9, 2006 7:49AM

see what drug use does?

topstuf · February 9, 2006 7:50AM

<< Should I PM you my addy? >>

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.

Sotty · February 9, 2006 8:25AM

I would rather see them bring back the silver 3 cent piece.

MikeJessie1 · February 9, 2006 8:28AM

Put down the keyboard and step away from the computer.

GAT · February 9, 2006 8:41AM

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.

Bear · February 9, 2006 8:45AM

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

Rather, its getting answeres from oneself.

BECOKA · February 9, 2006 8:52AM

I like this, get rid of the penny and round everything to 3 cents.

Heck we could get rid of the Nickel as well.

cladking · February 9, 2006 9:16AM

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

cladking · February 9, 2006 9:16AM

ttt

topstuf · February 9, 2006 11:03AM

What's the matter with

topstuf · February 9, 2006 1:54PM

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

chabot510 · February 9, 2006 1:56PM

great thread, ttt, lol

topstuf · March 3, 2006 2:20AM

Now that everyone has had time to think about it, whaddya say?

bhartman35 · March 3, 2006 3:35AM

I say bring back the real dollar coin. No more of these mamby-pamby Sacs.

Let's use the Silver Eagle/Walking Liberty design to make real dollar coins.

ziggy29 · March 3, 2006 3:44AM

I'd sooner eliminate the $1 FRN.

bhartman35 · March 3, 2006 3:47AM

I've got no problem with that.

Let's do that too!

rhedden · March 3, 2006 5:15AM

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.

bhartman35 · March 3, 2006 5:48AM

Maybe they should have Vida Guerra (of Peace Dollar fame

) pose as Ms. Liberty and put that on a dollar coin!

Time to bring back the half dime?
