Why the silver dollar would become a fifty cent dollar
The Register explains that the silver dollar now in circulation is not a fifty cent coin. It argues the dollar’s value rests on three government commitments: to keep parity with gold, to accept it as full payment of debt, and to maintain a gold reserve. With unlimited silver coinage at a false ratio, parity could not be kept and the silver dollar would depreciate to fifty cents only in the future, not today.
