<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1783661, member: 112"]Not quite that often Sam. The fineness of the silver did change 4 times in a hundred years (1700-1800), but only by Royal Decree and it applied to all the Spanish colonial mints equally. The one exception to this rule on fineness was Potosi, and it is only an exception because the mint officials there cheated, got caught cheating, and some were executed for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
