In 1791, Alexander Hamilton made his recommendations to the U.S. Congress about a unique United States coinage.

He suggested that the Dollar should be the basic unit of currency, and that Dollar coins should be modeled on the

Spanish “Silver Dollars” in both size and weight. As a result, the first Silver Dollar, which was the Flowing Hair design

in 1794, weighed 26.96 grams and was struck in .8924 silver. The weight was actually slightly less than a
