<p>[QUOTE="BlackBeard_Thatch, post: 3132211, member: 85208"]Yes they were but not to the rate of the new world mints and these coins would of only been used in Spain itself, very rare to have found one in the new world and would of have been brought over by merchants from Spain. When money shortages happen in Spain's colonies the king would order shipments of currency from new world mints to Spanish colonies because it was cheaper and more reliable due to Spain having problems with the British at this point in history(Britian loved to burn ships <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). You have to realize that Spain was in a giant power struggle and they made fatal errors for example War of Jenkins' Ear, The Seven Years War. The Spanish were in no power at this point to continue shipments as they did in 1600/1500s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
