Peices of eight are my favorite coins there's so much history and adventure to imagine when you hold them in your hands

Interesting
Comment from : BRAM

Spanish coins were the first globally accepted currency They were very pure and exact in weight, easy to count and divide, and they facilitated trade between four continents, from the Philipines, across America, Europe and northern Africa Some pieces have been found even in China I liked that you explained that they were the origin of the dollar If you are curious about it, search about the Spanish symbols (the columns of Hercules and the "plus ultra" band) as the origin of the current symbol of the dollar $ There are different theories about it, but I find it interesting

Could you make a video on what kind of treasure pirates commonly plundered?brThis may be a very boring and bland topic, I’m not sure
Comment from : The mighty Angus TMA

Spanish, Portuguese, English, and possibly French were PIRATES Yes A Chinese pirate in the Caribbean? Indian, Black?

The English coins you've showed at around 2:30 look a lot like the 'guldens' we used to have here in the Netherlands up to 2001
