Of course. And "coin silver" only refers to the US standard of 90% pure silver coins. Most other countries (especially in the British empire) used to use sterling silver. Coins have used many different alloys, for example, post WWI Canadian coins are 80% silver, silver UK coins dated 1920-1946 are 50% silver, some ancient "silver" coins are known as billion coins and they contain very little silver, and Mexico issued a 1 peso coin in the late 1950s and 60s that was only 10% silver!
