Assuming you mean the United States governmnet: 'First minted in 1921, the Peace Dollar was created to commemorate the end of 'The Great War' and to celebrate America's emergence as the pre-eminent world power. ... In 1935, the U.S. government ceased the production of Peace Dollars altogether, and would never again mint a dollar coin from real silver. Nonetheless, the Peace Dollar remains a symbol of unwavering American optimism and resilience during the best and worst of times, and will always be treasured as the last true American silver dollar.' http://www.amergold.com/vault/uspeacesilverdollars.shtml
