Unlike $1 coins, which are still available (I got a fistful of them when I broke a $10 bill at a Denver rapid transit station.) although unminted for scores, 50¢ coins have been minted continually for a century.
I would appreciate receiving ¥2,000 notes. @:-)
I was rather shocked when I got a half-dollar coin in change a couple of years ago. They just don't circulate. (Nobody calls them
fifty-cent coins. They don't even say "fifty cents" on them.
