Peso puertorriqueño genuino (original) de 5 centavos. La moneda está montada a mano en plata esterlina .925. La moneda original es de plata ley .920.

¿Sabías que Puerto Rico tuvo su propia moneda antes de la invasión estadounidense? El peso puertorriqueño sólo fue producido entre los años 1895-1898. En el 1898 cuando invadió Estados Unidos, el peso puertorriqueño fue reemplazado por el dólar estadounidense. Aunque de igual valor internacional, cada peso puertorriqueño se cambió a 60 centavos por cada dólar estadounidense. En otros términos, todo puertorriqueño perdió un 40% de su capital durante dicha conversión.

Con 40% menos de capital, los agricultores se vieron obligados a pedir dinero prestado a los bancos estadounidenses. Sin restricciones de la Ley de Usura, el Banco Colonial Americano cobró tasas de interés tan altas que, en solo una década (para 1910), los agricultores habían dejado de pagar sus préstamos y los bancos procedieron a adueñarse de sus tierras. Este proceso de expropiación culmina en la creación de las centrales azucareras, las cuales crean un monopolio estadounidense sobre la producción y exportación azucarera en Puerto Rico.

Estas monedas representan otro lado de la historia que los libros de la escuela quisieran esconder - representan a un Puerto Rico próspero el cual (a pesar de ser colonia española) poco a poco iba ganando más autonomía económica - hasta que invadió Estados Unidos.

Genuine 5-cent Puerto Rican peso, mounted in .925 sterling silver.

Did you know that Puerto Rico had its own currency before the US invasion? The Puerto Rican peso was only produced between the years 1895-1898. In 1898, when the United States invaded, the Puerto Rican peso was replaced by the US dollar. Although of equal international value, each Puerto Rican peso was exchanged for 60 cents per US dollar. In other words, every Puerto Rican lost 40% of his capital during said conversion.

With 40% less capital, farmers were forced to borrow money from American banks. Unrestricted by the Usury Act, the American Colonial Bank charged interest rates so high that, within just a decade (by 1910), farmers had defaulted on their loans and the banks proceeded to seize their land. This expropriation process culminates in the creation of sugar mills, which create a US monopoly on the production and export of sugar mills in Puerto Rico.

These coins represent another side of history that school books would like to hide - they represent a prosperous Puerto Rico which (despite being a Spanish colony) was gradually gaining more economic autonomy - until it invaded the United States.

Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I love tits effectiveness to clean & you can also add a pump functionality on it or you can just refill smaller bottles that have a pump which you can also buy here on Amazon or refill your old liquid handsoaps with pump, because this cleans well, nice lather , moisturizing feel & great for sensitive skin, smells fresh. I buy this a lot for my personal use & office use. Great value for your money.

Great value hand soap, but watch out for leaky bottles
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
For a 6-pack at this price, you really can't complain too much. The soap itself is pleasant — it lathers well, rinses clean, and leaves your hands feeling soft without any dryness afterward. The "Original Fresh" scent is light and clean without being overpowering, nothing fancy but perfectly fine for everyday use. My main issue was that one of the six bottles arrived with a leak — not completely empty but had clearly lost some product in transit, which was a little frustrating. It seems like a packaging or seal issue rather than anything wrong with the product itself, but worth mentioning. The other five bottles were perfectly fine and have been holding up great. If you're looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly hand soap to stock up on for the kitchen or bathroom, this gets the job done. Just inspect your bottles when they arrive. Good value overall despite the one hiccup.
