Johnson Pushes Plan To Virtually Eliminate Silver From Coins
President Johnson proposed the most drastic U S coinage change since 1792, replacing silver with nickel and copper in dimes and quarters and cutting silver in half dollars from 60 to 40 percent. He urged legislation to mint new coins early next year, keeping half dollars similar in appearance while others look like nickels. He cited silver shortages and hoarding, noting the need for clad coins and continued use of the silver dollar only in limited form.
