True silver dollars (1794-1935) were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, the same alloy as other US silver coins.
Modern $1 coins are erroneously called "silver" dollars but actually don't have any silver at all:
1971-1981 and 1999 $1 coins are made of copper-nickel like dimes and quarters.
2000 and newer "golden" $1 coins are made of manganese-brass.
Morgan and Peace dollars were made of 90% silver and 10% copper. There are also modern coins called silver eagles that contain one troy ounce of pure silver, but these are minted for collectors and investors, not for spending. They carry a $1 denomination but that's artificial; their actual value is determined by the current price of silver bullion.
Silver dollars minted up to 1935 were made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
90% silver dollars were minted in 1964 but never released.
"Silver" dollars made from 1971 to 1981 and in 1999 are actually made of copper-nickel.
"Golden" dollars made since 2000 are actually made of manganese-brass.

Are silver dollars made of pure silver?
Silver dollar coins (1794-1935) were never made of pure silver. It's too soft and the coins would wear out very quickly. They (and most other silver US coins) were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Circulating US dollar coins were made of copper-nickel from 1971 to 1999. The composition was changed to gold-toned brass in 2000. Modern "eagle" coins with an artificial $1 denomination are made of 99.9% pure silver, but these coins aren't intended for spending.
