Silver dollars were minted for use in circulation and spending. They contained $1 worth of silver metal, about 0.77 troy ounces at the time. Silver rounds are slightly larger (one full troy ounce, usually), and are a method of collecting and/or investing in silver. Their "one dollar" denomination is artificial, and is shown only to meet legal requirements.
