Howdy folks, Some time past I read an article (that I didn't save like a dummy) about foreign trade dollars that were minted for the same reasons as the US Trade Dollars and were in competition with it. I know they listed the british, japanese, mexican, and another 3 or 4. Anyone care to share their knowledge of these, and where one might look to buy examples? thanks, rono
The ones I can think of right off would be the British Trade dollar, the Spanish colonial 8 reales (not just from Mexico but Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, Columbia etc), and the Austrian Maria Theresa thaler.
