Best Answer

90% silver quarters, half dollars and dimes were produced until 1964. From 1965-1970 half dollars have been 40% silver while dimes/quarters contained no silver. From 1971-present no silver coins have been minted for circulation. Today the US mints various collector coins in silver, but none for general circulation.
