When Money Lost Its Ring: The Silver Silence

When Money Lost Its Ring: The Silver Silence — A personal memory becomes a national story. This video traces the Kennedy half-dollar, LBJ’s Coinage Act of 1965, and the global demonetization of silver that led to modern fiat currency. Hear how a child’s memory of coins ringing on a kitchen floor reveals political maneuvering, psychological engineering, and the quiet shift from metal-backed money to promises and paper. Perfect for finance history buffs, numismatists, and anyone curious about monetary trust, silver’s cultural role, and the 1960s monetary pivot.
