<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rzage, post: 1853816, member: 14070&quot;]I&#039;ve done a lot of research on Trade with China , and I never heard of the US making 8 reales . As matter of fact because the 8 reale was the preferred coin in China we were buying as many as we could because our dollars were discounted to the point it raised the cost of doing business , that&#039;s why the Trade dollar was made . I have read of the English establishing a mint in China to make full weight 8 reales but the staffed the mint with Chinese workers who quickly debased the coin till it was worthless . Do you have a link on this as I&#039;d love to read it . Thanks .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
