<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 25462839, member: 102103&quot;]I think a lot of colonies changed hands during the Napoleonic Wars.&nbsp; The Netherlands was not in a good position to defend its colonies from the UK while it was occupied by France.&nbsp; Perhaps they kept the old currency because it would have been more readily accepted by the locals?&nbsp; The UK also had shortages of its own copper currency at the start of this era, which is why private copper tokens (Conder tokens) flourished during the Napoleonic Wars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1629976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
