As with many countries, New Zealand withdrew the 1 and 2 cent coins due to the fact that they had no purchasing power, which subsequently made them expensive to produce. They had effectively become useless coins.
The New Zealand 1 and 2 cent coins were demonetised on the 30th of April, 1990 and are no longer considered legal tender.
The New Zealand 5 cent coin was also withdrawn, and demonetised for the same reasons on the 1st of November, 2006 and are no longer considered legal tender.
NOTE - All New Zealand 1, 2 and 5 cent coins are redeemable for face value at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

When did the Australian 1 and 2 Dollar coins come into circulation?
In view of their minimal purchasing power, the Australian 1 and 2 cent coins had became virtually worthless and considering their value, they were relatively expensive to make. The last Australian 1 cent coins were put into general circulation in 1990 and the last 2 cent coins were put into general circulation in 1989. They were both progressively withdrawn from circulation in 1994 and all prices rounded off to the nearest 5 cents. The Australian 1 and 2 cent coins have not been de-monetised and are still considered to be legal tender and can be deposited in banks. According to the Australian Currency Act of 1965, 1 and 2 cent coins are legal tender if, when submitted for payment, they do not exceed a combined value of 20 cents. There may be problems in getting a business to accept them however. The one cent coin was minted for "Mint Packs" only in 1991. The two cent coin was minted for "Mint Packs" only in 1990 and 1991. The only decimal copper coins used in Australia were the one and two cent coins.

Will the Australian 1 and 2 cent coins come back into circulation?
The Australian 1 and 2 cent coins were removed from the currency because their purchasing power was negligible and subsequently, they had become relatively expensive to mint. If Australia ever suffers from hyper-inflation where there are huge price increases on a daily basis, the traditional cure is to freeze the currency, then devalue it against the world economy. Should this situation ever eventuate, we may see the 1 and 2 cent coins back in the currency, possibly with a half cent coin as well. If Australia's economy remains relatively well managed as it currently is and has been, there is not much chance you will ever see the 1 and 2 cent coins again.

What year did pure silver fifty cent pices come out?
The US has never made pure silver half dollars, they have made pure silver Silver Eagle dollars starting in the 1980s, but those coins are intended for bullion value and not for circulation. All US coins containing silver contain 90% silver at the most because silver is far too weak of a metal to make coins with and needs to be alloyed with a base metal to withstand the wear and tear of circulation.
