<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratio411, post: 1310525, member: 26729&quot;]I grew up in the 70s and 80s, so I can&#039;t answer most of your questions.</p><p>I will say that blue and red seal notes (silver certs and US Notes) were common in circulation in the 70s, and more common than you would think in the 80s. I have even pulled some from circulation in the 90s, but they were mostly $2 and $5 bills, which are not quite the workhorses that $1s and $20s are.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the silver dollars, the history as I know it is that they were used as a store of value, more like bullion, as compared to a coin that actually circulated, which is why uncirculated Morgan and Peace dollars are so plentiful. These coins spent most of their time in bags in vaults, or in privately held coin tubes squirreled away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
