From 1794 to 1935, US silver dollar coins were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. The last circulating silver $1 coins were made in 1935, although others have been struck since then either as experimental pieces or as special coins minted for sale to collectors and investors. Popular myth and Internet rumors to the contrary, modern $1 coins have no silver at all. Those minted from 1971 to 1981 and in 1999 are copper-nickel. The new "golden" dollars are actually brass.
