Three different pieces of Bryan Money. Pieces made in 1896 by opponents to William Jennings Bryan advocating silver to gold ratio at 16 to 1. All are 3 1/2 inches, one is holed. Each with a Morgan dollar obverse and eagle reverse. "N I T" appears on the coins referring to "Not In Trust." Bryan's Republican opponent, William McKinley, was endorsed by those who favored a single-metal, gold standard. They pointed out that if the Free Silver proposal were literally implemented, a coin containing a dollar's worth of silver would be "as big as a stove lid!"
