They haven't stopped...technically. The one ounce Silver Eagle coined today states: One Dollar on the reverse. I think that you're referring to silver dollars for circulation, right? I'm not certain but I believe it would be the "Peace Dollar" that was minted to celebrate the WWI armistice. I'm also not certain of the exact year they were stopped. I have a 1923 & a 1926; it's very close to that...possibly 1927. Today's Silver Eagle began mintage in 1986.
More information and correctionsCoinage of circulating silver dollars stopped in 1935. These were the Peace dollars, as mentioned; that design was used from late 1921 until 1935.The current 1-ounce "eagle" coins aren't intended for circulation. They're minted for sale to collectors and investors, and their value is based on the price of silver at the time of sale. The $1 denomination is completely artificial.
