The U.S. has never suspended the coinage of half dollars. They're only minted in limited quantities and sold in collector sets, however.
Half dollars circulated regularly until JFK's picture was put on the coin in 1964. They immediately started being hoarded as keepsakes, and people eventually adjusted to using multiple quarters instead of one half dollar. Restoration of the coin in circulation is problematic because too many cash drawers and vending machines have been retrofitted to remove the slots for halves, creating a circle of non-use and non-acceptance.
