What can you do with the fifty pence coin which is not in circulation anymore?

Circulated 50 Pence coins are unlikely to have much value as a collectible. Keep them and give them to your Grand Children.
Some banks may exchange them on a one for one basis if you are an account holding customer, but they are under no obligation to do so.

∙ 12y agoThe decimal New Half Penny and Half Penny coins were last issued for circulation in 1983 and were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in December 1984. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.
About the only constructive thing you might do with them, is keep them for your grand children.

∙ 11y agoThe larger 30mm diameter pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998, ie. they are no longer legal tender, you are stuck with them, unless they are in mint condition, in which case, you might get something for them as collectible coins.
The smaller 27.3mm coins you can take to a (British) bank if you are in the UK (or just spend them).
If you are not in the UK, consider selling them online since it is usually cost-prohibitive to send them to a currency exchange or spend them via mail.

∙ 11y agoThe smaller (27.3 mm) from 1997 onwards are still potentially in circulation, so unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 50 Pence.

∙ 13y agoyepper, it is still good money. You can use then at any store, but you will get people confused, better off going to any bank and asking to trade then in for paper money

Alternatively, you may like to give them to your kids, or their kids as a memento of the "old days".

Twenty Pence - all issues of the Twenty Pence coin are still potentially in circulation. Twenty-Five Pence - (Crown) was not intended to be a circulating coin, but is still legal tender. Try your luck. Fifty Pence - the larger pre-1997 Five Pence was withdrawn and demonetised in 1998. One Pound - all issues of the One Pound coin are still potentially in circulation. The gold Half-Sovereigns, Sovereigns, Two Pound and Five Pound coins are not considered general circulation coins, but are non-circulating legal tender. If you happen to have one of these, do not spend it, they are worth far more than the face value suggests.
