In a way yes, we got the idea for our silver dollar from the Spanish colonial 8 reales. The reale coinage was the most widely circulated and readily accepted coinage there was in the early US. It circulated until 1857. Annie - are you confusing the Mexican peso with the 8 reales ? The first Mexiacan peso did not exist until 1870. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   05-24-2007, 02:05 PM   #5 (permalink) elaine 1970 jasmine     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: new york city Posts: 5,393 My Mood: mexican peso the old mexican pesos were somewhat not standard in its sizes. unlike the american dollar or morgan. all coins looks equal. the mexican and the chinese older crown were of the same. not standardized.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
