Coin silver was once a common alloy in the United States. It is now relatively rare and the name causes some confusion. The technical “coin silver” alloy is .900 сребро, или 90% сребро и 10% Мед. It was not used to make coins, but at one point in time it was made from refined scrap coins. Парични монети у нас, и повечето други, no longer contain silver and are made from more inexpensive and durable base metals. Сребърните бижута с монети, които все още са на пазара, ще носят печат за качество на .900, and they are rare antiques.
