<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1834155, member: 66&quot;]By making them of coin silver they would be harder to spot and more readily accepted.&nbsp; Cost was not really that much of an issue because by that time silver was pushing 25 cents an oz.&nbsp; So a silver dime with 2.77 grams of silver in it or .089 troy oz of silver would have contained 2.2 cents worth of metal for almost an 8 cent profit per coin.&nbsp; So you see why you wouldn&#039;t exchange the silver for real coins.&nbsp; Two oz of silver could get you five silver dimes, but could be used to make 20 silver dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
