In fact the US Dollar was based on the average weight of several circulated Spanish dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that said though, there is no way China will ever be contracted to mint US coins. I could see the Royal Canadian Mint however doing so in a pinch. They would likely not use a mint mark however, kind of like whenever the US made circulating coins at West Point and San Francisco in the last 25 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
