Half dollars were minted most years since the denomination was introduced in 1794. The denomination was in regular circulation until JFK's picture was put on it and people started hoarding them. Because demand has fallen to near zero, since 2001 halves have been minted only for sale to collectors.
Early in the country's history coins were produced sporadically based on demand so there were occasional gaps, e.g. none were minted in 1816. In addition none were minted from 1930 to 1932 inclusive due to the Great Depression.
