this is totally off on a tangent and maybe I am retarded for not knowing but I found this to be interestingโ€ฆ

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dollar

 

>was minted in the Spanish Empire following a monetary reform in 1497.

so a new standard coin was minted and there was a "monetary reform"โ€ฆ just before the fucking Renaissance? really makes you think

 

And then, these coins were in use for centuries as the de facto world currency. They were even used in the USA up until 1857. fascinating. So Ben Franklin and Andrew Jackson both were using Pieces of eight and Doubloons in their day.
