"Real" Money

If not, which country carried on coinage after
LBJ eliminated silver coinage?
Don't know when that was, but Germany made silver circulation coins
until 1974, Austria until 1973, Netherlands until 1967, Switzerland
until 1969. Whether you call that "real" money ... after all, the value
of these coins was not determined by their metallic composition. All
these countries still issue silver collector coins that can be had at
face value but do not really circulate ...
