<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2553139, member: 40017&quot;]The term &quot;dump issue&quot; is used for British Halfpennies dated 1717 to 1719 and Farthings in 1717. Nobody seems too sure why &quot;dump&quot; but the coins were smaller and thicker than previous and subsequent issues. It may be because they looked as if someone had &quot;dumped&quot; a pellet of molten copper on the die and then pressed in the other half - but that is only a guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many other foreign coins are also termed &quot;dump issues&quot; - particularly in India and central Asia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
