Now you just hit on something that I have been wondering about for quite a while. What the heck happened to half dollars? I know they were common at least into the 1960s and had JFK on them after Franklin. However, I can't remember the last time I saw one, even in a cash register. They are probably scarcer now than $2 bills.
