The joking answer is 90 cents, but it's actually much more because silver dollars dated 1935 and earlier are worth much more than a dollar for their silver content. In fact, as of 01/2010 they can be sold to a metal dealer for at least $10 or $11, but will be worth even more to a collector.

A new dime is a current US coin worth 10 cents and is made of a copper-nickel alloy. An old silver dollar is a larger, historically significant US coin worth $1 and made of silver. The main differences lie in their size, value, composition, and historical context.
