Will it ever be illegal to melt down old silver coins?

After a little research, I know that it's illegal to melt down nickels for profit. (What little profit you could make, anyway.) My real interest is my rolls of pre-1964 dimes and quarters that I plan on hanging onto for awhile. I know the melt value of silver is only going to go up. My question though: is it probable that laws will ever be put into place that make it illegal to melt down old silver coins?

Due to rising cost of metals in 2006 the US enacted laws preventing melting of nickles and pennies. As concern that people will melt the coins to sell the metal, leading to potential shortages of pennies and nickels which would be at severe cost to the government . At the time the melt value of a nickel was around 7 cents I believe the penny was around 2 cents.

Actually there is no law that states you can melt silver coins however there is no law that states you cant Silver company's have been melting silver coinage for decades. I would say its because silver is no longer used in common currency melting silver coinage would not greatly impact the US Treasury or burden Taxpayers
