Talk:Half dollar (United States coin)

message: The only place I've encountered half-dollars is at Renaissance Faire, where almost everything is priced in increments of 50 cents to keep the change situation simple. However, I've only seen this in Southern California, so I'm not willing to add it without reports from other people in other areas. No point putting it up if it's confined to one location... 82.3.43.78 13:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Or black jack where smallest bet is $1, $3, or some odd number. In that case, half dollar may be required for blackjack. Using 2 quarters does not too much sense. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I doubt it.  It's more likely that the nickel and the dime will be retired at the same time, leaving the quarter as the smallest coin, as with the Danish krone. Nik42 (talk) 03:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Quarter is a multiple of 5 cents? Really? Actually all but 1 cent are multiples of 5 cent. Or is twice considered multiple (for 10c)? 82.141.66.232 (talk) 10:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

message: There reads: Few businesses stock their change drawers with half-dollars, and many banks do not stock these coins or hand them out as normal business practice, so the coins do not see much circulation. and In recent years half dollars have been minted only for collectors, due to large Federal Reserve and government inventories on hand of pre-2001 pieces, this mostly due to lack of demand and large quantity returns from casino slot machines that now operate "coinless". If and when the reserve supply runs low, the mint will again fill orders for circulation half dollars.
So the coins are in federal storage, therefore not in use? 82.141.66.232 (talk) 10:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And, considering the part In recent years, half dollars have been minted only for collectors, what the "recent years" mean here? Does the mentioned "pre-2001" mean the line between recent and non-recent in this context? It is not so easy to figure out these from that text. 85.217.36.130 (talk) 01:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Mass and composition only apply to the copper nickel ones from 1971. Kennedy half dollar shows it better, but I don't know how to make the required edit to the infobox in this article. - Rod57 (talk) 13:27, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

message: All US coins I've seen have the faces contra directed. That is, rotated by 180 degrees. Is this true for all US coins?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.239.129 (talk) 23:54, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I know it's been almost a year, but I figured this deserved an answer. Yes, it is standard for US coins to have the obverse and reverse arranged in this manner. --Khajidha (talk) 02:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
