And they were supposed to circulate in North America, Central America, and South America by design. It was only the coins actually minted in Spain that they tried to stop. </p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s not that Spain was doing a bad job. Coins like the pistareen were usually delivered to the colonies by countries other than Spain because they didn&#039;t want the debased coins in their homelands. For example, if you read the article referenced above you&#039;ll see that those pistareens mentioned were delivered to the colonies on an English ship, not a Spanish one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
