American Silver Eagle

Okay, kiddo! Have you ever seen a really pretty silver coin before? Some people like to collect those!

One silver coin that's very popular in America is called the "American Silver Eagle." It's made by the United States government and it's very special because it has a picture of a bald eagle on one side, and a picture of Lady Liberty on the other. These are very important symbols for our country!

Each American Silver Eagle is made of one ounce of pure silver. That means it's really shiny and looks like it's made out of the same silver as jewelry!

Lots of people like to buy American Silver Eagles for their collections or as gifts for special occasions. Since they're made out of real silver, they can be worth a lot of money someday, too! But even if you just want to keep one as a treasure, an American Silver Eagle is a really cool thing to have!
