Different "What's it Worth" question?

What would the value be worth in today's money back in 1829 Mexican 8 Reales?

The same as one American silver dollar. About $13.36 in silver value today.

About 5 - 6 days wages for the average skilled tradesman on the eastern seaboard in 1829. About an hour's wages for the same today.

Thanks Clay. I was just curious how much money the man lost when he dropped this coin in today's dollar.
