<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 25548397, member: 15588&quot;]There is some information on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_certificate_(United_States)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_certificate_(United_States)" rel="nofollow">Silver Certificate Wiki Page</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Douglas_Dillon" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Douglas_Dillon" rel="nofollow">C. Douglas Dillon</a> halted redemption of silver certificates for silver dollar coins; during the following four years, silver certificates were redeemable in uncoined silver &quot;granules&quot;. All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And that links to a US Bureau of Engraving and Printing site with slightly more information: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140403223347/http://moneyfactory.gov/silvercertificates.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140403223347/http://moneyfactory.gov/silvercertificates.html" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20140403223347/http://moneyfactory.gov/silvercertificates.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t yet born when the turning in of silver certificates ended, so I have no personal experiences. But it appears that many people did do so. Whether it was actually <i>worth</i> doing so in the 1960s probably remains a matter of debate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received a 1957 Silver Certificate in change from a bank maybe 15 years ago. It wasn&#039;t in great shape, but it was an interesting experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
