Trade Dollars
Trade dollars were first introduced in the late 15th century when the Spanish dollar was used to facilitate trade. This inspired other nations to create currencies, including the U.S. dollar. In the late 1860s, an increase in trade between the United States and China led to the introduction of the U.S. trade dollar as part of the Coinage Act of 1873. Although the U.S. trade dollars were primarily intended to use in trade with Asian countries, they were also legal tender within the U.S. for payments up to $5 and many found their way back into the domestic market. However, the price of Silver soon dropped below the face value of the coin due to an increase in mining within the U.S. Many banks and businesses began to refuse to accept the U.S. trade dollar. This led to the revocation of the legal tender status of the U.S. trade dollar.
