Notes: Although over 200 million examples were struck, the Kennedy half dollar saw little circulation during the 1970s. Public hoarding of earlier silver issues and the popularity of the Kennedy design contributed to the denomination's decline in everyday use, making the half dollar an increasingly uncommon sight in American commerce.
