# Packet-boat Gold Import Estimate
## Definition
The reported weekly importation of gold from Portugal to England via packet-boat, estimated at £50,000 per week or more than £2,600,000 annually. Smith suggests this figure may be exaggerated but uses it to illustrate the scale of precious metal flows in international trade.
## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 6
## Context
Smith cites this estimate to demonstrate the magnitude of gold flows between England and Portugal. He uses the figure to support his argument that even large-scale precious metal movements are primarily driven by trade facilitation needs rather than mercantilist goals of wealth accumulation.
## Economic Domain
