<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2874190, member: 10461&quot;]It&#039;s an interesting story, and an interesting place I&#039;d love to visit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia has the story of the coins and shows one in their History section of the article about <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy" rel="nofollow">Lundy</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently Martin Coles Harman (who sounds like quite a character) found himself in a spot of trouble with the British government for issuing the coins, and was found guilty, but then had to pay only a laughably tiny fine.&nbsp; The coins became collectors items and we&#039;re discussing them almost 90 years later, so Harman got the last laugh.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS- if there are any authors/editors with Wikipedia credentials who might want to upgrade the coin picture in the Wikipedia Lundy article to mine, I absolutely grant permission.&nbsp; The picture they are currently using doesn&#039;t even show the puffin side of the coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
