What's the most obscure historical fact that you have heard?
In 1845 (and probably until well after the Civil War) 90% of the silver dollars in circulation in the United States were actually Mexican 8-Real pieces. (John L. Riddle, A Monograph of the Silver Dollar, New Orleans, 1845. Riddle was melter and refiner at the New Orleans mint).
