With Canadian currency, I consider a "silver dollar" to be ANY year regardless of the silver content as it is silver in color & is worth a dollar...hence a "silver dollar".
Yay, aardspeed! It's a bit sad that most posters assumed a silver dollar means a US silver dollar. from Wikipedia Quote:
Dollar ... is the name of several currencies, including those of Australia, Belize, Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong, Namibia, New Zealand, Singapore, Suriname, Taiwan, the United States, and previously Zimbabwe. So how many other countries dollars had any silver? Edited by jgenn

Any coin that has silver in it thats $1 face value, other than ASEs  On the reverse of an ASE it states "ONE DOLLAR". |

A crown sized coin issued as currency for the value of one dollar made out of a silver alloy.

I tend to immediately think of a peace or Morgan dollar. Sometimes Ike dollars if they are silver. Silver commenatives and Canadians are the last on my mind. I would never consider the ASE to be a silver dollar since they are bullion and are out of spec for a US dollar. |

An elegant generalization I can get behind.  |

I'd put the cutoff date for "Silver Dollars" at 1935. This is also where my mind automatically goes, but they are all silver dollars, technically. When I refer to silver dollars I mean everything from 1794-1935. This is an interesting topic. |

This is a silver dollar, and a darn fine one at that!  Accept it!   |

Silver Dollars to me are dollar coins with silver in them. When someone mentions Silver Dollar and shows you a SBA, I get a little frown in my heart.  I also accept the fact that it is widely used outside of collectors. |

I've got Canadian dollars, a Bahamian dollar, a Liberian dollar, a Straits Settlements dollar, a British dollar which is technically not part of any monetary system... as well as, for instance, a Cuban peso & a Panamanian bolivar, which were struck to the standard of the US silver dollar by the US Mint, but do not have the word "dollar" on them. And how about things which are conventionally called dollars, such as the Maria Theresa, or the Dutch 2 1/2 gulden (I also have a "Zilverbon" or Dutch silver certificate in this denomination, likewise a Bank of Japan "convertible silver note" with an engraving of the silver yen on it), or the 19th-century coin known throughout the world as the "Mexican dollar"?

I still think of a silver dollar as any dollar struck for business use. So the only one I would delete from your list is the commemoratives.

@ jbuck that is one fine silver dollar. Ike always looked "both ways" probably why he was a very successful guy in life. We always get a kick out of leaving IKES as tips when we are visiting your great country. The look on some of the young wait peoples faces is priceless!
