Redemption of silver certificates for silver metal was discontinued in the 1960s when the price of silver was deregulated.
The bills can still be spent for $1 each but are usually worth a bit more to a collector. The most common ones, dated 1957, are only worth around $1.50 to $2.00 retail, though.
Please note there's no such thing as "copper clad silver". All US clad coins are made with copper centers clad in cupronickel alloy (dimes, quarters, and halves) or manganese brass (dollars). Also the only opposite to "real silver" would be "fake silver"!
