No. The U.S. Mint stopped producing silver half dollars for circulation after 1969 (those dated 1970 were only sold in sets, and in 1971 the composition was switched to copper and nickel). However, they had no direct hand in removing silver coinage from circulation. Rather, it was individuals collecting and hoarding silver coins that made them disappear, as they are worth more than face value.
