The Spaniards withdrew the silver from the American mines in their colonies (like the great silver mines of Potosí in modern Bolivia) and turned it into coins in Spain proper. Then Spanish merchants sailed to China to exchange these silver coins for Chinese goods that they desired, like porcelain or silk, and this is how that American silver would end up in China.

The discovery of new silver mines in the 19th century, particularly in regions like the American West and parts of Latin America, significantly boosted local economies and attracted a wave of immigration and investment.

Additionally, it played a crucial role in the financing of infrastructure projects and the expansion of railroads. However, the rapid extraction also led to environmental degradation and social upheaval in mining communities.
