Silver dollars intended for circulation were made from the start of the US mint in the late 1700s all the way to 1935. However, the silver dollar has always been an unpopular coin when silver was in our circulating coins. Silver dollars were in circulation to where an average person could pick one up at the bank (or cash in silver certificates for silver dollars) up until the increase in silver prices in the mid-1960s. Soon after that, the price of the silver increased over their face value and they went to collectors.
