<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siberian Man, post: 5363546, member: 22500&quot;]The history of monetary circulation in Angola begins in the XVII century. At that time, Brazilian copper coins in denominations of 5, 10 and 20 reales were used here. The first Angolan coins were minted in 1762. The currency of Angola became the maсuta, equal to 50 reales.&nbsp; Coins of the following denominations were minted:</p><p>- 1/4, 1/2 and 1 macuta (copper)</p><p>- 2, 4, 6 and 8 macuta (silver .917, weight - 2,95 g., 5,7 g., 8,75 g. and 11,7 g.)</p><p>At the beginning of the XIX century, copper coins were minted with a face value of 1/4, 1/2, 1&nbsp; and 2 maсutа. In accordance with the law of April 18, 1809, the following counterstamps were applied to Angolan coins:</p><p>- 10 reales on 1/4 macuta</p><p>- 20 reales on 1/2 macuta</p><p>- 40 reales on 1 macuta</p><p>- 80 reales on 2 macuta</p><p>In accordance with the law of March 21, 1837, an additional counterstamp was applied to the coins: thus the denomination of the coins was doubled (10 reales = 20 reales, 20 reales = 40 reales etc.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
