It's like our Canadian 50 Cents coin. Very rarely seen in circulation but still minted at just below 100,000 pieces for proof-like sets, premium presentation sets, and still legal tender. I got a bagful of the older nickel metal halves, I tried to spend one just to watch the vendor's reaction.

It's interesting how certain coins are kept almost for nostalgia, like the US Silver Dollar worth many times it's face value. I heard a story where someone used an original-style $50 at a McDonalds and they refused it, saying it was a fake!
It's amazing alright.
Generations of humanity growing up having little experience in handling cash let alone real money. Lulled into fake fiat money.
