<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3131693, member: 112"]Although many Spanish colonial pieces were used here, I am not aware of any that were shipped here, by Spain, for the purpose of being used here. Royal decree was that they ALL be shipped to Spain in the beginning. But as I noted above that changed after 1600. The Spanish colonial silver that was used here, got here by other means. It was not even supposed to circulate in the colonies where it was minted, although some undoubtedly did due to necessity at various times. The Spanish colonists themselves were supposed to use the regular Spanish coinage which was shipped from Spain to the colonies for use in local commerce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
