The U.S. Mint never made silver certificates because the Mint only strikes coins. Paper money is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The last silver certificates were printed in the early 1960s, but all were in the 1957 series.

While all denominations from $1 to $1000 were printed at different times during the 19th century, only $1, $5, and $10 silver certificates were printed in the 20th century. Production of $5 and $10 silver certificates ended with the 1953 series, and $1 silver certificates ended with the 1957 series.
