It takes a bit of effort - but it can be done. I can say they numbered in the millions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pillar dollar is the most common name used for these coins here in America - but they are also known as columnarios throughout the world. This term applies to all of the denominations - 1/2, 1, 2, and 4 reale - not just the 8 reale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin Mach - a year I don&#039;t have yet&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
