Can anyone remember the wall (or floor) of silver dollars? Maybe it was true, or just a wide west joke. In my younger years we used to tell stories about a wealthy Dallas Texas man who cemented a wall (or floor) with Morgans. I think the story was going around when a Morgan was still in circulation. Maybe during the sixties. I came to remember this ... after I came to CCF.  Please share if you heard it too.  |

If you've ever driven through Wall, South Dakota and gone into the Wall Drug store, the counter there is full of Morgan and Peace dollars |

I had been out of collecting for some time at that point an I guess I never noticed  If anyone is in that area be sure to check out the Crazy Horse monument. I stopped by there first and then went to Mount Rushmore and to be honest Crazy Horse was more impressive. |

Wasn't their a Las Vegas casino that had a bar inlaid with silver dollars. My recollection is maybe a million?
I was thinking it might be the Horseshoe owned by the Binion family by can't find a reference to it.
Just rings a bell somehow.

Tampabay,
You might be thinking of the Million Dollar display that Binion's Horseshoe had - 100 $10,000 bills. They were sold off several years ago. They now have another display that consists of $100 bills.

Down town Missoula Montana has a Silver Dollar Bar too, I drive past it half the time I go into town. I'll have to take my camera in there one of these days, not sure if it has much of a wall or bar with silver but I'm pretty sure it's owned by the same guy that has the one in Haugan.
