Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 05:25 am Indonesia has never issued silver circulating coinage. Circulating coinage in Indonesia today is typically made of aluminium or steel. They made some silver NCLT commemoratives in the 1970s and 1980s, but as far as I know, haven't made any silver coins this millennium. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

No. Mexico briefly experimented with bimetallic coins with silver cores, in the early 1990s, in an effort to stem the slide of the peso. It didn't work and when the silver value of the core exceeded the face value, people began popping the cores out and melting them. The experiment ended after just a coup[le of years. Apart from that, silver had disappeared from issued circulation coinage by the mid 1970s.
