The New Golden Age, Vol. 2 of 2: And Influence of the Precious Metals Upon the World (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The New Golden Age, Vol. 2 of 2: And Influence of the Precious Metals Upon the World At the beginning of the present century, full thirteen hundred millions sterling of gold and silver had been extracted from the earth for the use of mankind, and poured into Europe, since the year 1500. But one-third of. this enormous quantity had been exported from Europe, chiefly to Asia; a still larger quantity had been converted into plate and ornaments; while about one-eighth (or 170 millions) had been lost to the use of mankind, by casualties and abrasion. The total quantity of gold and silver existing as coin in Europe at the beginning of the present century is reckoned to have amounted to about 380 millions sterling.
