Peso puertorriqueño genuino (original) de 10 centavos, La moneda está montada a mano en plata esterlina .925.

¿Sabías que Puerto Rico tuvo su propia moneda antes de la invasión estadounidense? El peso puertorriqueño sólo fue producido entre los años 1895-1898. En el 1898 cuando invadió Estados Unidos, el peso puertorriqueño fue reemplazado por el dólar estadounidense. Aunque de igual valor internacional, cada peso puertorriqueño se cambió a 60 centavos por cada dólar estadounidense. En otros términos, todo puertorriqueño perdió un 40% de su capital durante dicha conversión.

Con 40% menos de capital, los agricultores se vieron obligados a pedir dinero prestado a los bancos estadounidenses. Sin restricciones de la Ley de Usura, el Banco Colonial Americano cobró tasas de interés tan altas que, en solo una década (para 1910), los agricultores habían dejado de pagar sus préstamos y los bancos procedieron a adueñarse de sus tierras. Este proceso de expropiación culmina en la creación de las centrales azucareras, las cuales crean un monopolio estadounidense sobre la producción y exportación azucarera en Puerto Rico.

Estas monedas representan otro lado de la historia que los libros de la escuela quisieran esconder - representan a un Puerto Rico próspero el cual (a pesar de ser colonia española) poco a poco iba ganando más autonomía económica - hasta que invadió Estados Unidos.

Genuine 10-cent Puerto Rican peso, mounted in .925 sterling silver.

Did you know that Puerto Rico had its own currency before the US invasion? The Puerto Rican peso was only produced between the years 1895-1898. In 1898, when the United States invaded, the Puerto Rican peso was replaced by the US dollar. Although of equal international value, each Puerto Rican peso was exchanged for 60 cents per US dollar. In other words, every Puerto Rican lost 40% of his capital during said conversion.

With 40% less capital, farmers were forced to borrow money from American banks. Unrestricted by the Usury Act, the American Colonial Bank charged interest rates so high that, within just a decade (by 1910), farmers had defaulted on their loans and the banks proceeded to seize their land. This expropriation process culminates in the creation of sugar mills, which create a US monopoly on the production and export of sugar mills in Puerto Rico.

These coins represent another side of history that school books would like to hide - they represent a prosperous Puerto Rico which (despite being a Spanish colony) was gradually gaining more economic autonomy - until it invaded the United States.

Decent value for the money.
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Grey
Was easy to assemble. Instructions were clear. Tools were supplied. It really needs to be assembled wherever you're going to be putting it as it can come apart easily when moved. The cross bars simply fit into open ended plastic 90 degree female ends. Overall for the money and to just have some division in a room it's a good value.
