<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 690691, member: 12789&quot;]There was some prohibition or similar back in the 1960&#039;s that was rescinded in the 1970&#039;s when all silver had disappeared from circulation anyway, rendering the law useless.&nbsp; The purpose was to keep people from pulling coins out of circulation to melt them, depleting the country of coinage.&nbsp; Problem is, people still hoard the coins, they just don&#039;t melt them until later when they can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even now a lot of silver coins are not melted, and actually they are my preferred way to have silver, in coins.&nbsp; Nice standard weights, familiar, portable and recognisable unlike a lot of bullion bars, rounds etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
