The Silver Dollar game is a game my Mom invented to encourage us to remember our American history and important United States facts.  <\/p>\n<p>Mom would ask a US history question and the first one to get the answer right would get a sliver dollar. Mom has a fun way off tossing the silver dollar to the winner- I\u2019m not sure how to describe,&nbsp; it&nbsp; but basically she just tosses it to the family member that has the correct answer to the question.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/clip_image0025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"clip_image002\" border=\"0\" alt=\"clip_image002\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/clip_image002_thumb4.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"223\"><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Plan to play the Silver Dollar game at your Independence Day family reunion or party.
