Silver and gold have been the foundation for just about every single economy in the world. Rightly so as well. On top of being utilized as currency for over two thousand years, these two precious metals have many uses from circuitry to jewelry. With how intrinsically valuable these elements were (and still are), it’s no wonder that when the United States was leaving the old era of transactions behind and was transitioning into the modern era, that some the bills put into circulation were directly backed by silver. Such notes used to be legal tender in the United States but are now obsolete. These notes are titled “Silver Certificates” and are some of the most collectable pieces of paper currency there are.
Depending upon the condition and year of issue of a given note, they can still be highly collectible. Issued from the years 1878-1964 by the United States, these notes were backed by silver and were able to be redeemed for what their face value was worth in silver coins. Many silver certificates are still available to add to your collection, including the famous Silver Certificates from the World Wars I & II era, and many more.
