<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7501917, member: 97383&quot;]robinjojo, You make some interesting points in your post <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The English, Spanish, Portuguese, &amp; French all vied for control of the &quot;New World&quot;, &amp; it looks like the Spanish were the big winners in regards to wealth accumulation <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Of course all this booty was gained off the backs of enslaved indigenous people. The Spanish exploitation of silver production added so much silver to the world supply that it created a world monetary crisis that took centuries to stabilize <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m glad you posted one of the famous &quot;cob&quot; coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. These crude little things were so easy to clip that they were soon traded by weight. Finding a well struck cob with complete images that hasn&#039;t been clipped is a real challenge &amp; an expensive proposition <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
