Until the mid-1960s silver certificates were backed with silver on deposit in the US Treasury. Only as many dollars worth of silver certificates could be issued as there was silver on hand, which acted as a control on the money supply. The phrase "will pay to the bearer on demand", etc. was honored in various ways over the years - sometimes in silver bullion, sometimes in silver coins - depending on the laws in effect at the time and the availability of each form of the metal.
Redemption of silver certificates was halted when the price of silver was deregulated and the US stopped backing its money with precious metals. The government could no longer guarantee a fixed amount of silver for each dollar, and in fact the Treasury's stockpile of silver was sold off.
