Lawrence Sayre -- What is a "Dollar"? The US "Coinage Act of 1792" defined a Dollar as: "DOLLARS OR UNITS - each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver.". Don't be fooled by valueless paper "notes" (debt instruments) masquerading as "Dollars". A Dollar is and always has been only "silver", and more specifically 371.25 grains of ..999 pure silver. |
