***which would make gold and silver coins legal tender. *****

When my dad worked at the Rattlesnake uranium mine (1955) outside of Moab-La Sal, he and everyone always got paid in REAL silver dollars.

We kids also got one silver dollar a week to “save”, but they always disappeared after a few weeks and we kids never found where they went.

And if he had paper dollars, it said on them..”Pay to the bearer on demand ONE DOLLAR IN SILVER”.

Oh for the days when a dollar was worth something!

I think they did away with the silver certificate dollars around 1964.
