Message:
<p>[QUOTE="Gilligan, post: 1308063, member: 32552"]The law I'm referring to is when foreign coins were removed from circulation and were no longer legal tender. My question is did this law apply to U.S. Territories that hadn't reached statehood until later as well, such as Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, etc.? I have a Mexican Dollar (8-reale) dated 1863. I know Mexican coins were used extensively in the U.S. until 1857, but was wondering if they still may have been used in the Old West territories even after the law went in to effect for the states.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
