I had a one dollar silver certificate which I gave my Granddaughter. I am sure I read some time back that they are not even considered legal tender any more.

Is that right?

I know you can no longer turn them in for silver.

According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing they are still legal tender. They are probably removed from circulation whenever a bank catches them, just like when a teller separated the old $100s from the new ones when I returned from Las Vegas one time. (She stacked them back together when I asked her why she had separate stacks, which was odder than just saying that the old ones weren't going back into circulation)
