Kennedy took place on November 22, 1963 and many grieving people wanted to do something special in memory of the late President. Shortly thereafter, it was decided that Kennedy's portrait would be place on a U.S. coin. Initially Kennedy's portrait was going to be placed on a U.S. quarter. However, Mrs. Kennedy requested for George Washington's portrait to remain on the quarter instead of her late husbands. The second best choice was the Half Dollar coin. At the time, the Franklin Half Dollar coins were still being issued and the current law required that a coins design should remain on a circulating coin for at least 25 years before it can be changed. Consequently, Congress has to act quickly and change the law for the Half Dollar coins. In the end the Kennedy Half Dollar was approved, therefore, ending the Franklin Half Dollar series at least four years earlier than expected. By February 1964, the Philadelphia Mint struck its first Kennedy Half Dollars for circulation while the Denver Mint had already struck them just a week earlier.(Source: Hernandez, Jaime.
