<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1608211, member: 12789&quot;]Literacy rates were much lower then and people much more susceptible to believing what they heard so anything is possible.&nbsp; I have heard anecdotal stories of Spanish/Mexican silver coins circulating in rural areas of the American west until the turn of the last century.&nbsp; I was also reading of a shipwreck in the Great Lakes area from 1888 where they found several lower value foreign coins that could have still been used in circulation since they were mixed in with American coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
