That&#039;s why there have been no half dollars minted for circulation since 2001, again read your Red Book. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if those coins have been sitting there in the mint&#039;s vaults all these years just gathering dust, along with all of the dollar coins they minted that the Fed has not ordered either, then it is entirely possible and maybe even likely that the folks at the mint just went ahead and minted the 2013 halves because the 2001 coins were forgotten about or over-looked when this unexpected order from the Fed for 6 million halves came in. In other words, somebody at the mint screwed up by going ahead and minting the 2013 coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>But wait a minute, govt. employees wouldn&#039;t make a mistake now would they ????
