Why did the spanish melt down the gold and silver artifacts from the conquest?

The Spanish melt down this things because they need to finance the war they are planning. Because the real gold is worth a money and if they melt it down it would cost about cents, dollar is really made of brass and it is worth 125 dollar if melt down.

this is some false statement. aliens aren't real.
