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. Like and share if this resonated — and comment your own memories of real money. #Silver #MonetaryHistory #KennedyHalfDollar #FiatCurrency
