So prominent was the silver dollar at various points in history that there are many different hotels that bear the name. In addition to the Silver Dollar Hotel you will also find bars and other establishments bearing the same name. Of course, the concept of the original Silver Dollar Hotel has changed over the centuries though remnants of its past remain. Today you may not find the same sights at that once existed but you will find many different types of memorabilia such as matchbook covers, drawings and even brothel coins.
In past centuries-before television and radio-there was little for people to do for entertainment, especially the men. Their usual entertainment involved drinking at the local bar and hanging around with loose women, namely prostitutes. In Colorado one Silver Dollar hotel offered a brothel coin that a patron could earn or purchase for one night of entertainment with the prostitute of his choice. The coins are now available as memorabilia but no longer hold the same value they did during those early days. It is questionable whether any of the coins in circulation are authentic since during their operation they did not leave the establishment-a patron bought one from the manager and gave it to the girl who returned it to the manager at the end of the night.
Throughout the United State there are many different establishments that carry the Silver Dollar name including hotels, motels, bars, and much more. They are all remnants from the past and will add a new dimension to the collections of those who enjoy collecting various items of days in the past. Even the hotels themselves are located in various cities across the country though they tend to be more prominent in the Mid-West and West rather than other parts of the US. This is likely to be because they present the aura of the Old West style hotel that we often see on television in old western movies and television shows. Of course most of us know those are just replicas that may not even portray the West as it was but we are intrigued by anything that presents that picture.
The Silver Dollar Hotel and its other namesakes throughout the United States and Canada offer many different looks into the history of past centuries and life as it existed at that time. It\'s a look into a past we only know through history books but gives each person an opportunity to visit and perhaps join for a short time. Even if you only purchase some of the mementos from those old hotels and establishments that bear its name you will have the opportunity to partake of a small part of the history that surrounds the era in which the hotels operated and the way the people lived during that time in history. If one looks around it\'s easy to see that some parts of life as it existed then have remained as the hard drinking girl chasers are still part of 21st century life.
