The Colombian government says it will try to raise objects from the 1708 shipwreck of the galleon San Jose, which is believed to contain a cargo worth billions of dollars
But the ship is believed to hold 11 million gold and silver coins, emeralds and other precious cargo from Spanish-controlled colonies, which could be worth billions of dollars if ever recovered.
The article says billions of dollars, so I guess it’s compared to American dollars (USD). Whether or not it’s truly worth billions of said dollars is a different matter
Fuckin “billions” yeah. OK. Compared to what?
