What about Australian 50 cent coins?

Had to look them up. But no, absolutely not. Any N-gon that is closer to a 1-gon than to an ∞-gon would definitely do more harm than good.

What about the fact that regular "circular" coins in most countries are actually ridged? Dimes and quarters, in America, have 118 and 119, respectively.

You'll have to ask an economist about that. The next one you meet, just ask them that question witout context. They'll know what you're talking about.
