	Gold standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic unit of account is a fixed weight of gold and currency issuers guarantee, under specified rules, to redeem notes in that amount of gold.
		Gold would remain the metal of monetary reserve accounting until the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement in 1971, and remains an important hedge against the actions of central banks and governments, a means of maintaining general liquidity, and as a store of value.
		The primary Spanish gold unit of account was the escudo, and the basic coin the 8 "escudos" piece, or "doblón", which was originally set at 27.4680 grams of 22 carat (92%) gold, using current measures, and was valued at 16 times the equivalent weight of silver.

	Spanish Gold
		Once the gold was cooled the ingots were removed and hammer stamped with the mint mark and the royal seal to show that the twenty percent royal tax known as the Quinto, had been paid.
		The large eight escudo coin was called a "quadruple pistole" or, at first, a double doubloon; later it became the coin the English colonists called the Spanish doubloon.
		Spanish gold was regularly accepted in the early United Sates and continued to be minted in the New World until 1821.

		The escudo was coined as a unit in itself, as well as in multiples of two, four and eight escudos.
		The Spanish silver coins most familiar to generations of Americans were the “Pillar” types, introduced in 1732 to replace the crude cobs and minted for the next forty years.
		Contributing to this problem was that the Spanish coins, which were frequently clipped and worn, were readily spent, while the federal coins, with their higher intrinsic value, were either hoarded or shipped overseas for recoining in Europe.

		It was during the Tom Gurr days of salvage that the state of Florida stepped in and confiscated the entire treasure Gurr and his crew had recovered during two years of hard effort, claiming that the site lay within a few yards of the state’s three-mile boundary.
		To date he has recovered two gold coins, a 1-escudo Bogotá cob-type coin that the state of Florida received in their division, and a 2-escudo Bogotá that Ron retained in his collection.
		It is true that this was not the gold bonanza that we have been able to recover from the 1715 fleet, but keep in mind that the 1733 hurricane was not nearly as devastating as the one that hit the 1715 fleet.
