Modern commemorative coins in the United States, particularly the 50-cent pieces, were first authorized by the Coinage Act of 1982. These coins are produced to honor significant events, individuals, or places in American history and often have limited mintage. The designs on these coins vary, featuring themes that celebrate national milestones or commemorate specific causes. They are primarily issued as collectible items rather than for everyday circulation, appealing to numismatists and collectors seeking to acquire pieces of American heritage.
