翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Beaver Coins ： ウィキペディア英語版 Beaver Coins Beaver Coins, also known in pioneer days as Beaver Money, were gold coins minted in 1849. Their name comes from the prominent beaver depicted on the obverse of the coins. The currency contained 8% more gold than contemporary coins from the United States of America.〔 Today these coins are quite rare and valuable. After the establishment of the Territory of Oregon, the mint producing the coins became an entirely private enterprise continuing its operations until Governor Joseph Lane ruled the operation unconstitutional in September 1849. (Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution declares the mintage of coins to be one of the enumerated powers of the Congress.) The opening of the United States Mint branch in San Francisco, California made a large supply of gold and silver U.S. currency available, playing a part in the demise of the "Beaver Coins". ==Background== The primarily American settler population of the Oregon Country, based in the Willamette Valley since the late 1830s, lacked a stable currency. A variety of items were held valid by the Provisional Government of Oregon, including specie from Mexico and Peru, beaver skins and wheat.〔Scott, Leslie M. ''"Pioneer Gold Money, 1849."'' Oregon Historical Quarterly 33, No. 1 (1932), pp. 25-30〕 After the beginning of the California Gold Rush an estimated 2,000,000 dollars worth of gold entered the Oregon settlements within two years.〔Carey, Charles H. (''History of Oregon.'' ) Portland: Pioneer Historical Publishing Co. 1922. p. 407〕 Disputes often arose during transactions over the value of the gold dust, generally rife with impurities.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beaver Coins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
