“And get that whoremaster JFK off the 50c and we can go back to using them again.”

Yeah, old Ben got screwed because the media types completely romanticized that scumbag. But at least that scumbag was actually pretty pro-American, unlike most Dems today...I don’t even think that JFK would be allowed into the Dem Party these days.

However, the 1/2 Dollar is not going to make it, no matter who is on the front - not until vending machine makers enlarge the slots for them. This is unlikely, especially in the electronic era. I was VERY disappointed to find that casinos have made slots into electronic games (yeah, I’ve been away from them for a while). It is no fun without the clanging of coins and handling them (but that slows down how much you can bet, so the casinos moved away from that in all but a few cases). The coin is pretty much stuck as a commemorative or as a collectors piece, and I think that it’ll be gone altogether within 15 or so years...sad.
