<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 26522547, member: 40017&quot;]Odd denominations are really intriguing! Cyprus had 4 1/2 and 9 piastre coins in the early 20th century.</p><p>I collect mainly British coins and in the early 19th century we had 9 and 18 pence token coinage, but I have not got into those.</p><p>What I do have is a run of the 1 1/2 penny coins known as &quot;threehalfpence&quot;, which are tiny and cool. Probably the weirdest was the quarter farthing - there were 240 pennies to the pound, four farthings to the penny, so there were 3840 quarter farthings to the pound! They also made third and half farthings.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690554[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1690555[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
