<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 8084817, member: 15588"]All $1 Silver Certificates from 1886 to 1928 had the phrase "Silver Dollar" printed right on them (my two samples from 1923 and 1928 shown below; I do not own the 1886 sample shown). I'm guessing that the usage predates those bills, of course, but it must have been common enough by 1886 to include on circulating money. The term disappeared on subsequent silver certificate issues after 1928.</p><p><br /></p><p>Along those lines, the term "silver dollar" may have later helped distinguish between "hard money" and paper.
