When did Britain stop using silver in coins?
No British coin has ever been 100% silver. For hundreds of years, British silver coins had a very high proportion of silver in them. From the Great Recoinage Act of 1816, British silver coins were standardised to sterling silver with a 92.5% silver content. The use of sterling silver to mint silver coins continued until 1919/1920 when, due to a sharp increase in the price of silver, British coins were debased to 50% silver. The 50% silver content continued to 1946 when, due to Britains pressing need to repay war loans to the US, the use of silver was discontinued. All British silver coins from 1947 onwards were made from a copper-nickel alloy.
