<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BlackBeard_Thatch, post: 3070506, member: 85208&quot;]Personally I love coins with stories or coins that have stories but are unknown.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the coins in my collection is a 1783 2 Reales which was recovered off of the shipwreck &#039;El Cazador&#039;. This ship was sending hard currency(coins) by orders Charles III of Spain to New Orleans. The coins were to aid the failing economy of News Orleans which was suffering from undervalued currency in circulation and counterfeit paper money. The ship sank 50 miles off the coast of New Orleans and caused the economy of New Orleans to fail so the territory of New Orleans was given back to the French, who then turned around and sold it to The United States of America which we like to call The Louisiana Purchase.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/AVOBTKD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
