Why isn't the Australian 50 cent coin round anymore?
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.
