Selling silver coins by the pound will net you little more than melt value, or the raw value of the silver. Legal tender silver coins minted before 1964 are roughly 90% silver. See the Related Link "Current precious metal values" for the current spot price of silver. Multiply that by 316.8 (the total number of ounces of silver you have, assuming they're all 90% silver coins) to get the melt value. You might want to make sure, though, that there aren't any rarities in there, or that they're not just coloredsilver. The dates are also important; a "silver dollar" minted after 1964 is, at best, 40% silver (unless it's an American Silver Eagle), and could be cupro-nickel clad.

What is more valuable to have 100 rupee coins in silver or a rs 100 note in paper?

The value of 100 rupee coins in silver versus a 100 rupee note in paper depends on context. While the paper note has a face value of 100 rupees, the silver coins could have intrinsic value based on the market price of silver, which may exceed the face value. If silver prices are high, the coins could be more valuable; otherwise, they may serve primarily as currency. Thus, the ultimate value depends on current silver market conditions and the intended use of the currency.

Why are coins in this country no longer made in silver?

In the 1960's, the US stopped making silver coins because of the value of the metal. For example, a silver dime's silver value is worth $2 and a silver quarter is $6. Silver dollars are worth $30. The U.S. was wasting a lot of money in silver coins and the silver value was rapidly increasing, so they had to stop. Another reason would be that people took the coins, melted it and sold it to a cash-for-gold type company. Also, they would ship or smuggle them to foreign countries which is illegal.
