Sorry, Archie, but the phrase "...Silver Dollars... can still be cashed in for face value at any bank" is meaningless. They are already cash. You can exchange them for tokens with money values marked on them, or for currency with money values marked on it, but you can't redeem them. A silver dollar IS one dollar.

Likewise, the 'face value' of a silver certificate is "One dollar in silver". You can't get that at any bank I know of today.

Since we are talking about creating definitions, proper use of terminology is not "picky"... precise use of terms is part of the process of creating definintions. However, I don't think the distinctions I made regarding U.S. money is going to affect the glossary of chipping terms. Just trying to keep the thought process rigorous.
