Replacing Depleted Stock Act Links Silver Mint Policy
Washington officials report the coinage of silver dollars has resumed after seven years as the mint replaces 279 million standard dollars taken for Britain bonds. Since March about twenty million dollars in silver were coined, and since 1920 the mint bought fifty-five million ounces at one dollar per ounce to replenish treasury stock. Officials justify the higher government price to stabilize silver amid wartime spikes while shielding American miners from foreign competition.
