Name all the international coins that have equal size to an American .50 piece. I already have the English Penny, Chinese Coin and Mexican Peso.

Thanks in advance,

A Jamaican quarter is 39mm diameter, but a little thicker than a half dollar. I still play around with them if nothing is around. They are a lightweight clad coin. Smile

Since a Morgan dollar is 38.1 mm, a coin that is 39mm
is certainly larger than an American half dollar.

I found some copper Caribbean 2 cent pieces that look a lot like English pennies and are the same sized as American half dollars.

The Irish Punt, Irish Penny, and Australian Penny, are also very close in size to the American Half. The old 5 Marks and 5 Francs are smaller but still quite workable.

Thanks Gentlemen. The reason I was asking is because I use the half dollar with Lethal Tender, CSB and The Magnetic Silver Copper. I feel strange using so many half dollars effect after effect. I want to replace two of the halves with an international coin. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I do use a Chinese Coin with CSB and Lethal Tender. Does anyone have any ideas where one of the Chinese coins can be replaced with a different international?

The Swedish 5 krona coin is also the same size as an American .50 piece.
