TWO-BIT
Spanish Colonial mints existed in the New World long before there were mints in the U.S.  This coin like the 4-bit comes from the Spanish Bust Peso.  Colonists would cut the coin up in halves or “two-bits” (which to this day people still refer
to the quarter as “two-bits”) to give change.  For almost 300 years Spain had colonial rule on 12 different mints, including Mexico, Santo Domingo, Lima, Peru, Panama, Spain, Potosi, La Plata, & several more.

FOUR-BIT
Spanish coins were popular in the American Colonies, because of the shortage of coins.  So the colonists welcomed the Spanish coins because silver was so scarce.  The colonies in order to keep the money flowing would cut the Spanish Bust Peso in half to give change.  Thus,
the name 4-bits.  The colonists would also melt down the silver to make there own coins or other miscellaneous items.
