I have two examples of of every commemorative 50 Cents that has been issued into circulation.
All obtained from pocket change at face value, over a period of about 4 years. All are common, but some have been much harder to find

Day 45Went through a $200 bag of 50c but didn't find what I was looking for. The 2019 JC and IRB coat of arms 50 cent coins have mintages of 0.88 and 1.05 million respectively but I usually find them in the ratio of 5 JC to every 1 IRB, like these I found today.  Still looking for 1966 and 1985. Total number of 50 cent coins noodled: 3280 Number of different coins found: 66 Number of coins still to find: 2

Day 52Went through another $200 worth of 50c - no '66 or '85. The older style fiji 50 cent coin was the only other coin in the world to have the same weight and dimensions as the Aussie 50c. I am always glad to find them in circulation here in Australia because their mintages are a lot lower than ours. Today I found a Fiji 1987 50c (mintage 160,000)   Also found this 2001 CoF coat of arms with extreme doubling on the date and AUSTRALIA on the obverse.  Total number of 50 cent coins noodled: 3680 Number of different coins found: 66 Number of coins still to find: 2

Nice - the Fijian 50c pieces really don't pop up a lot to start with.
