In addition to U.S. money, in 1907 the New Orleans Mint coined over 5.5 million silver twenty- centavo pieces for the Mexican government, part of the United States government's program to manufacture foreign coinage.

Forgive me for being picky, but minting for the CSA in 1861 and Mexico in 1907 would be two times would it not?

I was hoping no one would notice that there were two correct answers crazy.gif

 

The intended answer was CSA, but I checked my copy of the Treasury Department's book on foreign coins struck by the USA, and New Orleans did indeed strike 20 centavos pieces for Mexico in 1907. You guys are just too damned smart.
