<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 851959, member: 23874&quot;]Royal copper coinage was minted until 1775; after which it ceased. The Royals believed that copper wasn&#039;t a worthy metal to bear their likenesses. After that, due to demand, tokens, later known as Conders, were issued until the Regal coinage began in 1797 and 1799.</p><p><br /></p><p>To meet the demand during this time-frame, merchants, towns, political groups, and wealthy folks issued the tokens. The tokens usually were made of copper and were valued in halfpennies, pennies, and farthings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
