Could I say, use Canadian halfs for Digital Dissolve?

I do not know about Canadian halves but the US 50 cent piece is 3cm in diameter and not quite 2mm thick. I love the US halves and carry one on me everyday. They are great for doing coin tricks with.
Nope. Sadly, Canadian Halves are small.
Now, the question is, if you would already be using one foreign coin, the English penny, what's wrong with using a second foreign coin?
As for Canadian coins, our silver dollars are a good size for general magic, but they are much larger than American halves.

I would recommend using a Canadian silver dollar, the halves are basically quarters. I have a bunch of Canadian silver dollars and I absolutely love to just hold them. The weight and size is perfect.

I feel the same about Canadian halves. I planned to do all my coin work with halves, but I suppose I wont.
Canadian halves are a bit smaller. But the thing I don't like about Canadian halves is their ridges. Instead of rounded edges, it's sort of sharp, which isn't very comfortable in the classic palm.
it's like asking "small feet v.s. big feet." Just kidding. But American halves I believe are more eye catching.
