This is the answer I found Executive Order 6814 Required Turning in of Silver Bullion to the U.S. Government.Silver U.S. and Foreign Coins Were Exempt From the Order.Nearly 123 million ounces of silver were turned into the U.S. Mint from 1934-1938The U.S. Needed Silver To Mint Coins Executive Order 6814 is not a fictional future act of government, like the passing of the 211th, 212th and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, but an actual Presidential Order by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1934 confiscating silver in the United States. The order dated August 9, 1934, was entitled Executive Order 6814 Requiring the Delivery of All Silver to the United States for Coinage and required all persons to deliver silver to the U.S government pursuant to the Silver Purchase Act of 1934, subject to certain exemptions.[/QUOTE]
