Silver Bullion - What are silver
rounds?
What are silver rounds? Silver rounds or generic silver rounds are in
essence privately minted silver bullion coins in the
traditional or conventional sense. The reason silver rounds are called silver “rounds” and not silver “coins” or
silver “coin” is simply because it’s illegal according to U.S. Law for private mints to use the term “coin.” The
term “coin” is exclusively reserved for the U.S. Mint which mint and circulate Government Issued legal currency
such as American Silver Eagles.

In addition to the above, silver rounds must not and cannot be classified as
legal tender since it has no face value and don't have to be accepted as a form of payment for debt.
Creditors thus have no legal obligation to accept silver rounds as a form of payment for debt. On the other
hand, official government-issued silver bullion coins such as
American Silver Eagles, Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, Mexican Silver Libertads, Chinese Silver Pandas, Australian Silver Kookaburras,
Australian Silver Kangaroos, British Silver Britannia, Austrian Silver Vienna
Philharmonics, etc. have a face value and must be accepted as a form of payment for debt.
