1800

"It appears that in the seventeen-nineties large numbers of forged dollars were made in {Birmingham, UK} for circulation in those parts of the world where genuine Spanish dollars were in use, it being hoped by this device to cause trouble to Spanish trade."

Dollars were minted in the UK as token payment and where economical as specie (for merchants) among those trading English products for Spanish commodities.
