<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 2966784, member: 34720&quot;]Thank you to everyone for posting your thoughts. I really think that I most agree with [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] and the &quot;Milled Dollar&quot; theory. If the Spanish Reale and other such coinage was an adaptation or copy of that original Thaler, then I would agree that it may have been the most influential.</p><p><br /></p><p>Putting aside how far and wide that type of currency would have been used, we can also associate that type of coin with &quot;pirates&quot; and &quot;treasure chests&quot;. I&#039;m sure most kids grew up thinking about a Pirates Chest... and I know in my own imagination, I see all kinds of coins in that chest. What type of coins would they be? Of course gold coins.. but more than that.. Silver coins... lots and lots of silver coins....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
