They have them at banks. They are perfectly legal tender, but, you see them so rarely that people usually horde them.
There are no fifty cent coins. Ask you bank about them.
It would seem, as in the U.S. as well, that relatively few are still made. And those are snatched up by collectors quite quickly.
Google them. I just did. Very interesting. I thought they stopped making them years ago. They still make them but not many. They’re legal tender but usually end up in the hands of collectors. I’d try a coin dealer, but I’d also ask my bank if they can get them.
Far as I know the 50 cent coin is still legal tender. Ask at your local financial institution and put some into circulation! I did that a couple of years ago. Cashiers would look at it and ask what it is (a 50 cent coin). Did I really want to spend it? (yes) Isn’t it worth more (No. It’s worth 50 cents).
Coin shops mostly and other collectible stores. More common in Saskatchewan so ask any family and friends if they live there. I used to work in a bank and I don’t think we ever had the ability to order them, not on our regular order sheets anyways. It would have to be a special order if they could get them.
There are still a few around, but not a lot. Mostly they are in coin collections - but you can always ask at your bank.
