Silver half dollar coins were discontinued for general circulation in 1964, when the U.S. Mint shifted to a copper-nickel composition due to rising silver prices. However, the last circulating silver half dollars, which contained 40% silver, were produced in 1970. After that, silver half dollars continued to be minted for collectors and special editions, but they were not intended for everyday use.
