<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2996245, member: 66&quot;]I can&#039;t find a Coinage act of 1964.&nbsp; Can you point it out?&nbsp; I can find the 1964 law that froze the dates (public law 88-580), it doesn&#039;t ban silver dollars.&nbsp; The coinage act of 1965 bans STANDARD silver dollars (that would be 412 1/2 gran 90% silver), it doesn&#039;t ban dollar coins so clad dollars would be OK. Although they would have to write legislation to authorize the clad composition be used for dollars as that isn&#039;t in the act of 1965. (Which they did when they authorized the Ike dollar)&nbsp; Or course if you are writing legislation they could also have written it to overturn the ban on standard dollars.&nbsp; You can always overturn previous legislation with new legislation.&nbsp; The Act of 1965 also banned mintmarks for five years, but we got them back after just three.&nbsp; New legislation.&nbsp; So the five year ban in the Act of 1965 didn&#039;t really mean much.&nbsp; Kind of like multi-year spending plans.&nbsp; They don&#039;t mean anything because the next year when they write their sending plan they don&#039;t have to include them and their new legislation overrides the last years and that spending commitment goes away.&nbsp; (Sorry if that part is too political)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
