SILVER COINAGE/ Morgan dollars/ Buffalo nickles / Wheat and Indian Head pennies/ Silver Certificates - ALL EXAMPLES OF "CURRENT" money - these are NOT "OBSOLETE"

REGARDLESS of whether you can:
Get them at the bank
Sell them at your bank
Find them at a bank
and regardless of whether they have EVEN SEEN a bank in 30 years -
~~~~ THEY ARE ALL "CURRENT" exchanges for money.
Not minted or produced any more...
"Good as gone"
Old as dirt, but still worth their weight in silver (100 years ago maybe)

YES - there are somewhat retired (I guess...)
NO - they usually are NOT available from a teller
They can be "worth more to some" and "nothing to another".
And - for Paul - they can even be recycled and used in novel ways (like those CALIF chips)

~ BUT BOTTOM LINE IS: THEY ARE "current" bank-honored-good-for-different-money pieces.

CONFEDERATE MONEY is OBSOLETE.
