They haven't made any Dollar coins with actual silver since around 1932..
The only Dollar coins produced after 1978 were the Susan B. Anthony, the Sacagawea, the presidential series, and I think there is now a native american design..
Starting with the Sacagawea, all dollar coins have a gold color.. |

All current US coins are available from the United States Mint.
Here's a link to their home page: http://www.usmint.gov/?flash=yes

I just checked up on it, and while a Silver Dollar is the "traditional" way to do it, apparntly since they are out of production, a $1 coin will suffice. |

If the latter, what are the chances he'll be the DI Sgt. who rode you through? (That's the way it is in the movies.)

The Gunnery Sergeant giving me my first salute is the Assistant Military Officer Instructor up at VMI as well as a DI/Sergeant Instructor up at OCS. He's a good man. |

One of my sons is a Navy AT3 who has an officer recruiter after him. I hope he goes for it. Congratulations, again.
