The first Australian 50 cent coin was issued on the 14th of February, 1966, along with the rest of the initial release of Australian decimal coins and banknotes. The original 1966 50 cent coin was round and had an 80% silver content. Due to steep increases in the proce of silver, somebody figured out that the silver was worth more than 50 cents, so the coin was discontinued. All subsequent 50 cent coins were 12 sided and had no silver in them at all.

At a bank, any coin will be worth the face value. In other words, 50 cents. However, SOME 50 cent US coins contain some silver. Their value would be to a coin dealer, or someone that buys silver. THAT value will depend of the year of the coin, and it's condition.
One is currently worth about $8 for the silver, and possibly a bit more depending on condition.

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.
The round Australian 50 cent coin was only ever issued once, in 1966. Three of these 50 cent coins contained one ounce of silver and, as the price of silver increased, the silver content was worth much more than the face value of the coin. The round 50 cent coin at 31.5 mm was also considered to be too similar in size to the 20 cent coin at 28.52 mm. The replacement 12 sided (dodecahedronal) 50 cent coin first issued in 1969 is still 31.5 mm, but its distinctive shape makes it stand out in appearance and feel from other Australian coins.
