Because one of the most critical reasons is that silver is too heavy and inconvenient, and now paper money has been circulated, that is, after the popularization of electronic payment, even paper money is gradually useless. The gradual disappearance of the silver dollar is also related to China's technology and modern events. Let's look at the following analysis.

In ancient times, there was indeed a lot of silver in China, and after the opening of the Silk Road at that time, exchanges with foreign countries were also extremely frequent. China's tea and silk are deeply loved by foreign businessmen, so there is a lot of silver income. But at that time, ordinary people had very little silver, usually copper coins, and at that time one or two pieces of silver were already very valuable.

However, due to the outbreak of the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, China lost several games, signed many unequal treaties and lost hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Many of them were plundered by Eight-Nation Alliance, which made our country lose too much property at once. Eight-Nation Alliance also burned the Yuanmingyuan and plundered more cultural heritage, which can be said to be a shame in modern times.

In fact, there is a lot of silver in our country now, and many handicrafts need to be made of silver, so many minerals are also being developed slowly. But now silver is mainly used to make some utensils and jewelry, rarely made into silver dollars, and it will not be circulated as currency, so it is normal to see silver ingots at home. After all, everyone's impression of silver almost stays in the shape of an ingot.
