Of course you can; but why would you want to. Depending on the year and the condition of the coins they may be worth more than a dollar to a collector.
INTERESTING FACT: The United States is the ONLY nation on earth NEVER to have recalled or repudiated ANY of its currrency. This means that all American money, no matter when it was made is still legal tender. To prove this point, ten years ago, a man went to a store to purchase some groceries and payed for them with a hundred-year old ten dollar gold piece. The store at first balked (why, I can't imagine, I'd love it if someone gave me a gold piece for a loaf of bread), and the man took them to court. The court issued an order requiring the store to accept the currency, because it's still valid.
So don't take the coins to a bank, if you want, spend them. They're good.

You can but that isn't too smart. They will give you dollar for dollar on them and they will be taken out of circulation. You would be smarter to take them to a coin shop or sell them ANYWHERE but the bank. I'd rather give them away than lose them when the bank takes them away.

Yes but like others said..
1. They have collectors value.
2. They have silver value.
