The term "silver dollar" is often mistakenly used for any $1 coin, but in fact true silver dollars haven't been minted for almost 80 years, at least in the US. American silver dollars were minted from 1794 to 1935, with many gaps. All of these coins were made of 90% silver and 10% copper.No new US $1 coins were made for circulation until 1971, and none of these contain silver except as noted below. Eisenhower and SBA dollars were struck in copper-nickel clad alloy while modern Sacajawea and Presidential dollars are made of brass.Note - Some Eisenhower dollars were struck in 40% clad silver and sold in special collectors' sets, but these coins weren't intended for circulation. In addition, an experimental run of 90% silver dollars was made in 1964 but the coins were never released to the public.
