Silver is known to be one of the most desirable precious metals due to its luster, rarity, and versatility. Throughout history, it had been used as a money itself or as backing for currencies, until fiat currencies became the norm. Fiat currencies are issued by the government however, they are not backed by commodities such as Gold and Silver. For centuries, Silver had been used in circulated currency coins such as in dimes, quarters and half-dollars. For quite some time, Silver has not been used in currency coins, however Silver bullion is widely available today. Bullion comes in the form of bars and coins which are designed and produced by many companies. Many people buy silver bullion as a way to hedge their wealth against inflation.
