Information About
The mining of silver in the earlier period was an economic activity based on costs and selling prices, whereas the dollars in excess supply since at least 1971 have been produced costlessly. The pattern of the world distribution of Spanish silver is of interest both in its own right and as a cautionary tale for the United States today.
