The Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial half dollar was a proposed United States commemorative coin, legislation for which passed both houses of Congress, but was vetoed in 1954 by President Dwight Eisenhower. Intended to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the coin was lobbied for by both the Missouri Historical Society (MHS) and the Louisiana Purchase 150th Anniversary Association of New Orleans, who hoped to be able to buy the entire coin issue from the government and sell it at a profit.

| - 路易斯安那购地一百五十周年半美元（Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial half dollar）是美国总统德怀特·艾森豪威尔1954年否决的半美元纪念币，旨在纪念1803年路易斯安那购地一百五十周年。总统还一同否决另外两个城市的周年纪念币法案，并在意见中援引赫伯特·胡佛否决加兹登购地半美元的先例。 董事、钱币学家同密苏里州联邦众议员保持信件往来，并与克莱·萧尔领导的新奥尔良路易斯安那购地一百五十周年协会共同推动国会通过授权法案。财政部从20世纪20年代就开始反对发行纪念币，并派美国铸币局助理局长莱兰德·霍华德出席众议院1953年4月召集的听证会反对纪念币法案，建议改发纪念章。众议院当月通过法案，但参议院直到1954年初才通过，授权发行量达250万枚。 艾森豪威尔的反对意见主要认为授权之门一旦打开，各种纪念币就会接踵而至，为伪造大开方便之门。总统否决三项法案后，国会没有尝试推翻，美国此后四分之一个世纪没有发行纪念币，直到1981年财政部改变立场，但从此美国纪念币也不再由民间组织发行，改为政府销售。 (zh)

| - The Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial half dollar was a proposed United States commemorative coin, legislation for which passed both houses of Congress, but was vetoed in 1954 by President Dwight Eisenhower. Intended to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the coin was lobbied for by both the Missouri Historical Society (MHS) and the Louisiana Purchase 150th Anniversary Association of New Orleans, who hoped to be able to buy the entire coin issue from the government and sell it at a profit. Numismatist Eric P. Newman led the MHS's efforts, and corresponded with Congressman Thomas B. Curtis of Missouri, who helped push the bill forward with officials of the Louisiana group, such as Clay Shaw. Although many commemorative coins had been authorized by Congress in the 1930s, legislators passed few after that; the Treasury Department was strongly against their issue. When the House of Representatives held a hearing on the Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial half dollar, the bill was opposed by Assistant Director of the Mint . The House passed the bill in April 1953, but the Senate was slow to act, passing it in January 1954, and after the House concurred with the Senate amendments, the bill was sent to Eisenhower later that month. Eisenhower vetoed the bill, as well as two other commemorative coin bills, on February 3, 1954. Congress made no attempt to override his vetoes. No commemorative coins were authorized or issued by the United States after 1954 until a new issue was struck in 1982. (en)
