Trivia Question: What American president was depicted on the half-dollar just before it was discontinued?
Answer: J.F.K..
This decision was made shortly after Kennedy’s death. In an effort to memorialize him, the U.S. government approved of stamping Kennedy’s profile on the half-dollar coin. Around the year 2000, though, half-dollars stopped being minted except during rare collectors’ situations.
