1. And there still were half dollars back then!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

3. They're still in circulation actually.

I can't remember the last time I actually got one in change though.

4. Back in the dark ages, my late father collected them.

I have his collection. But it's been years since I saw one in circulation.

5. That kind of bribery is why ballot secrecy was invented.

it makes no sense to buy off a voter if you cannot verify that the person voted for you or not. This is why the RWers look like idiots when they claim that government assistance is about "buying the votes" of minorities, a RW talking point I hear all the time.
