After reading through many posts, I notice that some people use the word half's to represent a plural number of half dollars, and some people use the word halves to represent a plural number of half dollars instead.

1. I went to the bank to pick up some half's.
2. I went to the bank to pick up some halves.

Personally, I think that the 2ND one is grammatically correct, but what do you guys and gals think? I know this is a CRHing forum, so if I'm posting in the wrong area, the adims will probably move it.

My spellcheck recognizes half's meaning possessive. It also recognizes halves meaning 1/2 of a whole. It does NOT recognize halfs as a word. Personally, I don't care how people spell, I just want a good grade here for participation. :wink: Gotta go, potatas are boiling!
