I'm curious about this JFK 50 cent coin. I've heard that some coins are made of silver and I'm wondering if this particular coin, featuring John F. Kennedy, is also made of silver.

Prior to 1970, these coins were made of silver, a precious metal that gave them value beyond their face denomination.

However, starting from 1970, the composition of the JFK 50 cent piece shifted. It is now made from a blend of copper and nickel.

This change was orchestrated by Congress, who decided to reduce the silver content of the coins for economic reasons.
