# Plate (Household Silver)
## Definition
Silverware and other household items made of precious metals, valued both for their utility and as a form of stored wealth. Under the mercantile system, private plate was sometimes viewed as a respectable form of wealth accumulation, distinct from circulating currency.
## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 1
## Context
Smith discusses how plate represents another form of precious metal wealth beyond coin and bullion. He notes that the quantity of plate in a country is naturally limited by the number of wealthy families who desire such luxury items, and that attempts to artificially increase this quantity would be as misguided as trying to accumulate excess coin.
