VELASCO, Omar y ROMERO, Ma. Eugenia. Exportation of uncoined metals through the Mexican West Coast and the creation of the Culiacan Mint, 1825-1870. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.3, e1030. Epub 22-Dic-2020. ISSN 2007-3496. https://doi.org/10.18232/alhe.1035.
The commercial dynamic of Mexican West Coast exposes how it was possible to maintain the legal extraction of uncoined precious metals through ports like Mazatlán, despite the absence of a local Mint. The opening of Culiacan Mint in 1846 tried to end that practice. However, the local government continued issuing uncoined silver exportation permits, which confronted the minting lessee with the federal government. This paper shows some problems generated by simultaneous existence of two important mexican regulations on monetary economy in 19th century: the leasing of various minting houses in the country and silver bullion exportations policy.
