<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3538431, member: 74863&quot;]In the late fifties and early sixties IHC could still be found in change but it was mostly wheat cents. As far as silver coins, you could find them all evenorgans and Peace Dollars. Silver circulated as that was all there was. There were not enough Mercs to push out the Barbers. Same with all the denominations. All that changed in 1965 when coins were changed to clad. Silver disappeared almost overnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>In order to get the silver certificates out of circulation the government set a price of $1.42 for each dollar face if redeemed at your local bank by a specific date. After that date the law rendered them as worth face value only. I went to the bank with my dad and remember him selling everyone he had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
