<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 3448693, member: 73104&quot;]Silver dollars circulated mostly in the western part of the U.S.&nbsp; My grandmother had a portrait picture taken and she was wearing a Morgan around her neck.&nbsp; That was rural Nebraska around 1940.&nbsp; When I was young she would send me one for my birthday and I would foolishly take it to the bank and exchange it for a dollar bill.&nbsp; Back east silver dollars were available at most banks until the mid-sixties.&nbsp; My paper-routing days started in 1959 and lasted until 1963, and I never received a silver dollar in payment.&nbsp; One customer, however, had a coffee can of old coins under the counter at his greenhouse, and at Christmas time would hold it up high, telling me to pick one.&nbsp; He was my favorite customer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
