Curious thing legal tender in the US. Without looking it up, to my knowledge most coinage issued by the US mint since 1793 are still legal tender. Certain denominations, half cents, trade dollars etc. have been demonetised. The gold coinage I'm unsure whether it was demonetised or simply outlawed for the ordinary citizen (at least until 1974).

When was the pre-1965 coinage withdrawn from circulation?
i don't believe they ever were. They have been hoarded but never withdrawn. Do you have a reference to say they were withdrawn and therefore are no-longer circulating currency coins.

I would have "thought" 🤪 they would have been taken out of circulation by now but you are probably right @sixgun
Go back to not acting guilty 😀

Until you discover that the casino you named to the customs officer, defending your pile of treasure, doesn't use coins - so need to check this out very thoroughly in advance.

Buy some hollow dumbbells and fill them with your stash. Then you could say they are simply tools for a workout regime you've got going on.

Can you put them in sealed tubes and then string the tubes together as a necklace? Then it's jewellery and coins!

I pity the fool who stops at 10kg

Officially the first Mr T quote on the silver forum ?

Can you imagine going through with a 10kg necklace. 
Yes would have to be no more then say 5kg

$9,999 in silver one dollar coins would weigh 267.27KG
 
 

I agree with @sixgunif it is circulating currency then there is no argument against carrying it in, below the limit for cash.
the cost to stow it in the hold though, I’m sure you would be over your bag weight limit 😂

Quarter tonne necklace

I'm going to be crazy and go £17.35, I know I know it's probably just a young kids dream, but dream I must. 

£10ks worth

If they are circulating coins, then they are cash.
We have the issue that virtually all the Royal Mint product is legal tender but the authorities argue it is not intended to be circulating currency.
If the US coins are circulating coinage and you could reasonably spend it in the shops then it sounds like it is cash to me. You are acting guilty. In my mind you have some loose change in your pockets.

Where were you planning on "hiding" it?  

Love it, but don't want to risk a thorough search. 

Just tell them you had a lucky hit on the slot machine at the casino, you just haven't had chance to swap it into notes yet...

My english is really not the best, but it says only cash, no goods. Junksilver is also a good. You will not come through with 40000 quarters and tell them, it's your money you pay with. But just ask direct the customs before departure and you are safe.

Yes - I have travelled with silver coins several times.
Each traveller has a free allowance - check the gov site for the current limits.
I valued my silver Eagles at spot price and don't try to argue they are only worth face value - they are not stupid !
Provided the value of your "imports" remains below this level you can pass through the green channel.
Anything higher needs to be declared so you need to be prepared to have some plausible evidence of value.
Customs will ask you to pay 20% VAT on declared items that exceed your personal allowance.
Sometimes if it is a small amount they will just wave you through appreciating your honesty - they are really looking out for traffickers and professional smugglers.
As for the 10.000 £ / $ / € limit to declare currency this only applies to actual currency that is spendable or bankable and not to commemoratives, collectibles etc which fall in to the personal allowance. Don't forget that everything you have purchased including those trainers, jeans and polo shirts can also be included in calculating the value of goods if you got a " jobs worth" with a grudge.

It's about £390.00 per person, then you pay VAT on anything over, so if you are travelling with others they have their own allowance....

Ha, yeah the £10,000 limit was just to include all the info. I was thinking half dollars, one dollars and maybe some quarters and dimes perhaps 2kg or so in weight. 

I think 2022 will be silver's year.
I expect it will rise to £17.31, maybe £17.33.
It's gonna be huge!

Yes I hear you, I think having money parked in it is a good idea, and if you have a solid silver position already then makes sense to slow down and switch to other things, just to spread your risk out. 

I'd be pooing my pants the whole way back. Probably hide some low level drugs in an obvious place so they think that's what I'm hiding and just let me go.
