Half pennies, or half pence, were officially withdrawn from circulation in the UK in 1984. The coin had been in use since 1971 when decimalization took place, but due to inflation and decreased purchasing power, it became less relevant. The final half pence coins were minted in 1983, and they ceased to be legal tender the following year.
