In 2018, the U.S. Mint released the Breast Cancer Awareness Clad Half Dollar Coin. The coin is part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program, which recognizes the many Americans who are impacted by the disease and the effort to prevent it through research. The program includes a gold, silver, and clad coin. A design competition selected the common obverse and reverse designs emblematic of the fight against breast cancer.The price of each clad half dollar coin includes a surcharge of $5, which the law authorizes to be paid to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for the purpose of furthering breast cancer research funded by the Foundation.
Interesting fact
