Silver Certificates

Silver Certificates are United States Currency authorized by Acts of Congress, Feb. 28, 1878 and issued through 1964.  Large size Silver Certificates were issued through 1929 and then the currency (along with all US currency) changed to small or modern size as all US Currency is today.  Silver Certificates all have distinguishing blue seals.  Silver Certificates could be exchanged for silver dollars or silver bullion.   The Silver Law of 1963 changed this, dis-continuing redemption for silver dollars in 1964 then silver bullion in 1968 (based on silver price of $1.29 per ounce). Small size Silver Certificates have been issued in $1, $5, and $10 denominations.
