George Hill of the First National Bank of Butte predicts a government move to issue silver dollars to replace paper currency. He notes western banks prefer hard cash due to shipping costs and the high expense of replacing one dollar bills, while eastern demand favors paper money. If enacted, silver dollars could return as the circulating medium with savings to the government and broader thrift. The A C M company and Metals Bank in Butte already use silver dollars for payrolls.
