Peso puertorriqueño genuino (original) de 10 centavos, La moneda está montada a mano en plata esterlina .925.

¿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 10-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.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
