	Half dollar (United States coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Half Dollar of the United States has been produced nearly every year since the inception of the United States Mint in 1794.
		Silver coins (those of ten cent value and above) began to disappear from circulation, leading the United States to change to a layered composition coin made of a copper core laminated between two cupro-nickel faces for the 1965 coinage year.
		By the time mintage figures could match normal demand and the coin's composition was changed to match the rest of the coinage, both businesses and the public had adapted to a world in which the half dollar did not circulate.

	Franklin Half Dollar
		In a speech at the unveiling of the Franklin half dollar, Ross recalled that people had urged her to place Franklin's portrait on the cent because he was identified so closely with the maxim "A penny saved is twopence clear" (often misquoted as "A penny saved is a penny earned").
		Ross explained her choice of the half dollar: "You will agree, I believe, that the fifty-cent piece, being larger and of silver, lends itself much better to the production of an impressive effect," she declared.
		This had been required by law on the half dollar since 1792 and was reaffirmed by the Coinage Act of 1873, which mandated the placement of an eagle on every U.S. silver coin larger than the dime.
