Gee, I guess I gave the impression that I thought there was no
US $0.50 coin.  I meant to say (thought I did) that it was not
at all *popular* (because it doesn't fit in vending machines, etc),
not that it was simply not at all.  It ought not to exist, since it is
too big to carry around yet not big enough to have that fine, antique
"pieces of eight" look (like the Ike or Morgan).
There ought to be a $0.50 note, even a $0.25 note, as these would be
even cheaper to manufacture than those zinc (or whatever) sandwiches now
in circulation.  In fact, you could do away with coins altogether... :-)
