What is the last year Canadian coins were silver?

Answer 1

1964 was the last year that circulating U.S. coins were struck in 90% silver. Half-dollars were struck in 40% silver during 1965-69. None were resleased for circulation in 1970, and in 1971 they too were converted to cupronickel clad coinage. Special "prestige" proof sets continue to be struck in 90% silver but of course these coins don't (or at least shouldn't) circulate.

Answer 2

1964 was the last year for circulating silver quarters, as well as dimes. Half-dollars were 40% silver clad until 1971. Since 1992, though, Proof silver quarters, half-dollars, and dimes have been offered to collectors through the US Mint.

Answer 3

The US Mint still produces silver coins for collectors. The last year silver coins were produced for circulation was 1964 except for the Kennedy half dollar. These half dollars, minted from 1965 through 1970 contained 40% silver instead of the 90% contained in silver dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollar coins minted prior to 1965.

Answer 4

The last circulating US silver dollars were minted in 1935.

The last circulating Canadian silver dollars were minted in 1967.

Both countries continue to mint $1 collectors' coins in silver, but none of these are intended for general circulation.

Some circulation-design US dollars were also minted in silver after 1935 but again none were put into general use. These included various dates of Eisenhower dollars struck in 40% silver and sold to collectors, and a trial run of about 330,000 Peace dollars minted in 1964. All of the latter were melted.

Answer 5

1964 was the last year of general circulation silver coins. They were composed of 90% silver with 10% copper added for hardness.

Half dollars continued to be made from "debased" 40% silver up till 1969. None were made for circulation in 1970, and in 1971 the half was also changed to copper-nickel like dimes and quarters.

Answer 6

Canadian dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars were 80% silver though 1967. Dimes and quarters were then 50% silver in 1968. By 1969, no silver was used in any circulating Canadian Coins.

Answer 7

1967 for dollars and halves, 1968 for quarters and dimes.

Answer 8

1967-1968

Answer 9

1968
