Half dollar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The obverse side of a United States half dollar
Half dollar may refer to a half-unit of several currencies that are named "dollar". Normally, $1 is divided into 100 cents, so a half dollar is equal to 50 cents. Coins and/or banknotes of that amount are as such denominated at a value of 50 cents. The face on the front of the Half dollar is that of former President, John F. Kennedy. The Half Dollar currently isn't commonly used in circulation anymore, the government now mints this coin mainly for collectors.
