The United States never issued a "trade half dollar," although there may be a few local souvenir trade half dollars that have been issued from time to time. US Trade Dollars were issued from 1873 to 1885, British Trade Dollars from 1895 to 1935, and Japanese Trade Dollars from 1875 to 1877.

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some deep math here. So, like, a half dollar is 50 cents, right? And a nickel is 5 cents, so if you divide 50 by 5, you get... 10! So, like, 10 nickels make a half dollar. Math can be fun, right?
