I think except Mexico, there where no freshly minted circulating silver coins in the last 30-40 years.

 

So I'm pretty sure that every coin from this query should be a ‘non-circulating coin’ instead of a ‘circulating commemorative coin’, except the coins from Mexico

I believe there are some post-1979 silver "circulating commemorative coins"coins listed in this post:

I don't think you've presented enough evidence (or actually any) to go about changing 117 coins.

As long as you could get a commemorative for face at a bank or post office etc. we count it as a CC, if it's just a state backed bullion with way higher intrinsic value at the time of release than face we count it as just a numismatic product.

I know that the Uruguayan coins are the latter. I believe that the Spanish and Portuguese are as well, although I am less sure.

I also can't say this is official … it just that I heard it since I began using Numista and that is how I handled the coin issues since.

If there is evidence, feel free to send modification requests for those pages. I will close this request, as this can be done by users and admin action is not needed.

French coins in your list, issued in 1980s and 1990s, were circulating indeed. I remember it :-)

I think the 30 Australian silver coins of 2022 are no circulating commemorative coins.

 

11.66 g  silver is by far more expensive than 1 Australian dollar.

 

 

Something else:

 

In the Netherlands we also have official 5 euro coins that are according to our National Bank is “an official means of Payment”. You can buy them for 5 euro, so that would qualify for “As long as you could get a commemorative for face at a bank or post office etc. we count it as a CC”. Trouble is that no shop accepts them and in other euro countries it is NOT an official means of Payment. Unlike for example the 2 euro coins. Question is a Dutch 5 euro coin a cc or a numismatic product :-)

I was young but I still remember my mother get paid at her shop with some of those. She was first not really confident but a simple call to her bank confirmed her that it was legal tender, after this first surprise she was paid 2 or 3 time more in 5 years…
