Silver Dollar
Commemorative Coin Collection
The 1804 silver dollar is one of the rarest and most famous coins in the world.
The term silver dollar is often used for any large white metal coin issued by the United States with a face value of one dollar; although purists insist that a dollar is not silver unless it contains some of that metal.
Unlike in Canada where the one dollar and two dollar coin have been largely circulated since the late 1980's, the US dollar coins have found little popularity and acceptance in circulation in the United States since the early 20th century; despite several attempts since 1971 to phase in a US dollar coin in place of the paper one dollar bill.
