Did the US ever adopt the Mexican dollar?

Answer 1

Yes, the United States did adopt the Mexican dollar, particularly during the 19th century. The Mexican dollar was widely circulated and accepted in various parts of the U.S. before the establishment of a standardized national currency. The Coinage Act of 1792 and subsequent legal frameworks allowed for the Mexican dollar to be used alongside U.S. coins until the U.S. gradually transitioned to a more unified currency system.
