The US didn't make any silver coins in 1979. The last circulating silver dimes and quarters were dated 1964, and the last silver halves made for circulation were dated 1969.
Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't mint any $1 coins from 1936 to 1970 inclusive. Nothing - it is counterfeit The U.S. didn't make any dollar coins in 1969.
The last U.S. silver dollars were minted in 1935. $1 coin production wasn't resumed until 1971 and those coins were made of copper-nickel.
The Romans used bronze, silver and gold to make their coins.

The value of silver rose so the US had to use other metals to make coins. If our coins were still made of silver dimes would be worth $2 and quarters would be worth $5.
Yes, but none of the coins were made for general circulation. Silver Proof quarters sets and Silver Proof 10-piece sets were sold by the Mint, also the American Silver Eagle bullion coins were minted in 2006.
i don't know maybe they hate silver. lol
Because silver is far too expensive. Coins used to contain silver until about 1920 in the UK, 1965 in the U.S., and 1968 in Canada. Since then they are made from a mixture of copper and nickel, so they really aren't called "silver" coins anymore.
No U.S. coins were pure silver - it's too soft. 10% copper was added to make them hard enough to resist wear.
