Best Answer

Silver certificates were never officially withdrawn. After the price of silver was deregulated the Treasury simply stopped redeeming them for silver metal and declared them to be equivalent to Federal Reserve Notes, with no precious-metal equivalency.

Silver certificates gradually wore out and were replaced by new FRNs during the normal course of currency replacement. They occasionally showed up in circulation well into the 1970s, possibly later in some parts of the country.
