FWIW, I just checked my "loose change" container that sits atop my
bedroom dresser. There were two Kennedy half-dollars--one from 1968 and
the other from 1983. I suspect that a great many are still in
circulation.
For those who have never seen a Kennedy half-dollar, it's a coin that,
according to my pocket tape rule is about 1 1/8 inch or 29 mm in
diameter, featuring a profile of JFK on one side and the Great Seal of
the US on the reverse.
