half-dollar
Fifty-cent piece
A half-dollar is a United States coin worth fifty cents.
The denomination has been minted since 1794, with the Kennedy half-dollar (featuring President John F.
Kennedy) introduced in 1964.
Though still legal tender, half-dollars rarely circulate today: I found a half-dollar in my grandfather's coin jar.
