The British Halfpenny was first produced about 1300 AD to replace the custom of cutting Penny coins in half to achieve the required value.
Many countries of the British Empire/Commonwealth also produced a Halfpenny coin for their respective currencies.
Most of those countries including Australia, Britain, New Zealand and South Africa, to mention a few, produced a Halfpenny coin in 1942.
The US has never minted half penny coins. The US made half cents from 1793 to 1857.
