Couldn't people be using that coin as currency or for buttons in the 1700's. <edit>I don't think that anyone thinks that it got to North America in the 1400's.<oops> Oh, I just looked up China Naval, and I now see that that date corresponds with the dates in which China was a naval power. I knew that they did have the largest navy for a few decades, but I thought it was earlier than 1400. So, based upon that I now say it is likely to have come from China in the 1400's en.wikipedia.org China was leading maritime power in the years 1405-1433
