erix!mike in Stockholm asks why there's no $0.50 coin.

Probably because they don't fit in any vending machines.  But also
because they're regarded as just too big.  In Denmark, the 5 0re
and 5 kroner pieces are enormous.  (I assume Sweden also has large
coins.)  Neither would catch on in the US, although I personally like
a nice big coin--it looks like real money and has a feeling of
ancient history to it.
