Traditionally, the silver dollar was bigger since they were both made of silver, and so the dollar was twice as massive. Otherwise Dave is correct, the recent dollar coins since the appalling Susan B Anthony disaster have not been made of silver, and so are not called "silver dollars". Since coins values have been decoupled from their metal content, the dollars have been shrunk and are smaller than the half.

The Morgans, Peace, and Ikes were bigger than halves, but the new crap they came out with (the SBA, that Injun chick, and the newest POS whatever) are about the size of a quarter, but they weren't silver, so they don't count.
