When were coins pure silver?

No country has ever issued pure* silver coins for circulation. Pure silver is soft, and coins made out of it would wear out very quickly. Silver is almost always alloyed with copper or some other so-called base metal to make it harder and more resistant to wear.The amount of pure silver in the alloy varies depending on the issuing country's coinage policies and other factors. For example:Before 1965 US dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars minted were 90% silver.Before 1969 their Canadian counterparts were either 80% or 50%.Before 1920 certain British coins were 92.5% silver; this was reduced to 50% until 1947.Today many countries mint bullion coins out of pure silver for sale to collectors and investors. They're sold by weight at a price that varies almost daily due to changes in the precious-metals market. These special coins aren't intended to circulate.(*) For chemical reasons it's almost impossible to produce 100% pure silver. In practice the term "pure silver" refers to silver that's 99.9% pure with the remainder being trace elements.
