Pieces of eight.
Smart barter
ping!
Real da a ocho, was probably the first true world currency. Our first dollar was based on the Spanish dollar. In fact the American dollar could be divided like pieces of eight, hence the term “two bits”.
50 grams of gold is pretty expensive. The pieces are equal to two ounces of silver or about $75. Someone needs to make a silver equivalent for us poor folks.
take your one ounce bar of gold and exchange it for 40-60 ounces of silver.
easy enough
