These aren’t rare or unseen. All legal US money
The $0.50 coin is definitely not legal in the US
Cite your source.
Source is me living in Ecuador lol. Ecuador is allowed to make their own coins <$1. So some of the coins here are made by the US. The ones made in Ecuador say so, and they’re not legal tender in the US.
We have different 50¢ pieces.
