Best Answer

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.
