<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 761859, member: 66&quot;]Very little, the chronic coin shortages were commonplace long before the French Revolution.&nbsp; The revolution did not begin until 1789 (by which time some 90% of the small coins in circulation were counterfeit) but the coinage of farthings and halfpence, the most needed of the small coins, had ended in 1775, fourteen years earlier.&nbsp; And the 1797, 1799 and 1805-1807 coinages of copper coins were not done by the royal mint either.&nbsp; They were a contract coinage produced by Matthew Boulton.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe the Royal mint coined any copper for domestic use between 1775 and 1840.</p><p><br /></p><p>And&nbsp; some of the public in Britain DID advocate a duplication of the French revolution in England, at least in its early stages.&nbsp; They did NOT advocate The Terror.&nbsp; There are actually Conder tokens that ar pro French revolution.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I will also agree with the advise to get a copy of Good Money.&nbsp; I&#039;m thrilled with my copy and I&#039;ve read it twice now.&nbsp; A very good book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
