<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1497629, member: 66&quot;]This is correct.&nbsp; What many people do not realize is that each of these extensions specified which coins would be legal tender and for how long.&nbsp; In many cases the legal tender extension would expire before the next renewal occurred.&nbsp; Sometimes for several years.&nbsp; For example the Spanish Milled dollars are typically though to have been legal tender from 1793 through 1857.&nbsp; Actually their legal tender status expired in 1801, was renewed for four years in 1806, expired in 1810 and was not renewed again until 1843.&nbsp; Spanish colonial dollars (Except for those of Bolivia) were only legal tender from 1834 to 1857.&nbsp; The Bolivian Spanish dollars were not legal tender until 1843.&nbsp; During the period from 1827 to 1833 all the extensions had expired and NO foreign coins were legal tender during that period. (I&#039;m not aware of an extension in 1827.)&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t mean they didn&#039;t circulate though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
