Why was the original Australian 50 cent coin changed?
The original Australian 1966 50 cent coin was made from 80% silver, and after the steep increases in the price of silver in the 1960's, the silver in the coin was worth more than the coin. It took only three 50 cent coins to make one ounce of silver. The coin was no longer cost effective to produce. The 1967 issue was halted and the coins melted down. The next, and all subsequent Australian 50 cent coins were dodecagonal and made from cupro-nickel. The change in shape was to make them more distinguishable from the slightly smaller 20 cent coin.
