What are the silver reserves like? Do they still have those, or is it only gold?

not sure. Good question.

The news release + the Tenth Amendment center piece on it (https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2025/02/to-the-governor-wyoming-passes-bill-to-require-state-to-hold-gold-and-silver-reserves/) both mention silver alongside gold so it would seem they both received this legal impetus this week.

Silver is a bit harder to hold because it takes so much more space. But given that we used to use it in our coin, l would suspect we had a huge reserve of it?

We haven't used silver in our coins since 1965, have we?

I think it went to 69, but the usa hasnt used silver in a while. They held on to it after they melted it, right?

That I don't know.

Was it the less common dollar and half-dollars that kept using silver for a few more years?

I know '65 was the end of silver dimes and quarters.

I think the kennedy half dollar was silver clad until 1969?
