<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1661827, member: 12789&quot;]All of Wood&#039;s coinages were rejected wherever they were intended to circulate in America or Ireland.&nbsp; They did see some circulation in the middle colonies, what is now Delaware, NJ and Virginia.&nbsp; NY and Massachusetts-Bay rejected them outright.&nbsp; These coins were smaller and made with more inexpensive metals than contemporary British coinage.&nbsp; Of course the colonists saw they were getting ripped off by the Crown.&nbsp; It is overlooked in history now, but some of the roots of the discontent with Britain go back to this coinage dumping issue and even prior - the 1764 Stamp Act did become the pivotal tipping point though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
