The 1792 half disme (pronounced "deem")[1] is an American silver coin with a face value of five cents which was minted in 1792. Although it is subject to debate as to whether this was intended to be circulating coinage or instead an experimental issue, President George Washington referred to it as "a small beginning" and many of the coins eventually were released into circulation.[2][3] It is widely (although not universally) considered the first United States coinage struck under authority of the Coinage Act of 1792.[4]
