Just wondering. Not much of a Semi-quin centennial representation on our coins since none are in circulation. I have not seen a single coin.

Not a lot of folks walking around with pocket change anymore.
Quite a few have been minted so far, you can see the mintage numbers on the Mint website. In fact, so far over 70 million halves alone have been minted and that's the highest mintage since 1980!
But yes, I have seen none in change yet either.
But then again, I rarely use cash so I don't get change that much anymore. Same with most other people. The velocity of coins isn't what it used to be. Used to see the new coins by February or March, but with so many fewer people using coins, it takes much much longer for the coins to move around.
Be patient, they will make it around. If you don't want to be patient, you can get them from the Mint or on eBay.

Plenty to buy on the tv
I got one in change.
there have been pictures posted on here... but few and not from me
I use paper money and coins but have not seen any 2026 coins in circulation. I live 200 miles from the U.S. Mint and 25 miles from a Federal Reserve Bank, but my bank says it has not seen any.
they place an order for coins then call the supplier and ask them for new coin
it works
Bought graded ones for my type set but nothing in the wild yet. I wouldn’t expect to see the half in circulation as I haven’t seen any half in circulation in recent memory. BTW I like the coins in hand, especially the dime and the half.
Checked my Whitman folders last night and found that the newest dime I’ve received in change is dated 2020. So I broke down and bought myself a roll each of the Denver and Philly dimes. Searched through them today.
Overall, the Denver dimes were nicer. But the Philly roll was interesting in that maybe 1/3 of the coins showed an obverse die that was developing an interior die break under Liberty’s neck.
It was a fun exercise. I don’t think I’ve picked up a roll for the express purpose of searching it since state quarters were a thing.
