<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrweaseluv, post: 5104732, member: 40340&quot;]no, not a colonial coin in a true sense but my grandmother had one in that button box of hers (which is why it caught my eye) with a dozen vocs and other odd coins.... and i swear a damn bar penny.. i know and posted a link to the coins story, and i don&#039;t doubt more then a few managed to make the trip across the pond at some point. Was it imported at some point to the US to help with our coin shortage? To quote the article &quot;the sales of copper were, by 1787, beginning to slow down and selling &quot;Druids&quot; to other industrialists was a great way of increasing turnover.&quot; Considering the &quot;then&quot; american coin shortage would it be surprising if a few casks worth made it here? (via canada maybe?)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; What i would really kill to know is what happened to Memere&#039;s button box!!! lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
