<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2690434, member: 17665&quot;]I don&#039;t know that it really fell out of favor but had more to do with economics. It simply was not favorable/too expensive to have silver content in circulating coinage. On the other hand, the U.S. probably had something to do with the change in silver content when the first Silver Eagles were issued and backed by the U.S. in 1986. These came to be the go to silver coin for investment and collectability with the beautiful design and other countries had to jump on the bandwagon to insure sales of their own high silver content offerings.
