Reply to comment by stefanspicoli in TIL that in an effort to save $43.5, the Canadian Mint mailed the dies of the new $1 coin via a discount courier over using an armored car- which were promptly stolen and have never been found. This would lead to the adoption of the Loonie design as an emergency replacement. by Padgriffin

I just got a brand new 2022 half dollar at a US casino cashier. I have no idea why they bothered getting rolls of those unless quarters weren't as readily available. Casinos already try not to use dimes, $1 coins, $2 bills, $10 bills, and $50 bills.

A lot of times they will use half dollars vs 50 cent chips in blackjack.
