<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2815756, member: 39&quot;]While some of the issues discussed in this topic are just way above my head <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> that &quot;token&quot; question I can answer. These pieces are not considered to be coins as they were issued by private companies/institutions. In those years, British merchants suffered from a lack of small (low denomination) coins, and such tokens addressed the problem. You could also call this money &quot;notgeld&quot; or &quot;emergency money&quot; ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note: There are a few spelling errors on that page. Usually I am not picky when it comes to these things, but it should be &quot;Isaac (Newton)&quot; and &quot;Britain&quot;. Also, those tokens are called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conder_token" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conder_token" rel="nofollow">Conder tokens</a>, named after the man who wrote the (first?) catalog about them, apart from issuing his own tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
