<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 15049, member: 708&quot;]That&#039;s right, up until about 1280ish silver pennies were the only denomination produced and many people needed change for these pieces so they would be snipped in half or quarters depending on what was required... during Edward I&#039;s reign though the round halfpennies and farthings were reintroduced, i think the last regular issues (what few we have surviving) had been struck in the 900s. I do believe some extremely rare examples exist for the mid 13th century... like one example. but it wasn&#039;t till the 14th century that the practice of chopping coins in half and quarters began to deminish as the denominations were reintroduced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
