The climate and nature is so beautiful, and people were so friendly and welcoming. It is a tragedy what happened and is still happening there, it is unbelievable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, the ladies used to wear bracelets with gold coins or silver coins and wear them. I think the gold coins were called &quot;doblones&quot;. And even at marriages the kids that were ring bearers carried a bowl with silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>From 1873 up to 1936 silver coins (.900) were minted; after that the composition changed from silver to nickel. There are many variations, and many of the variations have Simon Bolivar on the obverse. Beautiful coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
