No, but if it holds any numismatic value you may be better off.
No. The ability to exchange them for silver ended in 1968.
A silver certificate of that age may not bring a lot of money depending on the condition. The best place to sell it would be a dealer that deals with these certificates. Many coin shops deal with them.
No, The law was changed in 1968 and these bills can not be changed for silver. They are still worth the dollar value though
Silver certificates were never formally withdrawn so you could still spend one, but you can't exchange them for silver anymore. However depending on its date it may not make much sense to spend a silver certificate. Common ones (mostly 1957 $1 bills) are pretty much only worth a bit more than face value to collectors, but some older-date silver certificates can be worth much more.

You shouldn't "cash in" a collectible bill. To cash in a bill means to take it to a bank where you'll only get face value (i.e. $1) for it. As you can see from the Related Question linked below, a 1923 $1 silver certificate would be worth much more to a collector or at auction.

To "cash in" means to take the bill to a bank. They're only required to give you $1 in current coins or bills, but not silver. The government stopped printing silver certificates in the mid 1960's when the price of silver was deregulated. Redemption for silver coins or bullion was abolished in 1968 to prevent people from "gaming" the exchange process by speculation.
