The El Cazador was a Spanish Brig of War loaded with silver coins heading for the then Spanish port of New Orleans and was lost in January 1784. The loss of these coins potentially triggered the Spanish to cede back the land to the French, who then sold it to the United States in 1804 (the Louisiana Purchase), hence the name, "The coins that changed the world." The wreck was found off the coast of Louisiana in 1993.
