The U.S. has never had a $50.00 coin for general circulation. Starting in 1986 1 Ounce gold bullion coins with a $50.00 denomination were made available to the public. Half-Ounce platinum coins also with a $50.00 denomination were made from 1997 to 2008.
The US also made commemorative $50 coins for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
In the late 19th century the Mint considered minting $50 and $100 coins for circulation, called half-unions and unions. However that was a huge amount of money at a time when many people made only a couple of dollars a day so the idea was dropped.
