what us coins have silver in them

That's a great question! It can be a fun treasure hunt to look for silver coins.

Based on the information provided, the key is to look at the date on the coin. Generally, you will find silver in U.S. dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins that were minted in 1964 or earlier. These coins, often called "junk silver," are valued for the silver they contain rather than their rarity as a collectible.

After 1964, the United States Mint stopped using silver in its circulating dimes and quarters. However, some half dollars continued to have a reduced amount of silver for a few more years.

Besides these older coins that were once in circulation, the U.S. Mint also produces modern silver bullion coins, like the American Silver Eagle, which are made specifically for investors and collectors and are not intended to be used as regular money. So, if you're searching for silver, checking the dates on older coins is your best bet
