Very strong farthing.

What amazes me is that with the exception of a few years in which a collective total of over 10 million copper coins were issued, none of them were produced in very large numbers (1806/7 might be exceptions but my books leave the mintages as 'unrecorded'). When the new bronze coins hit the streets in 1860-3, the numbers involved were humungously more than the copper coins they replaced. Since I have never read of small change shortages up to 1860, I wonder why we needed so many more coins starting in the latter part of the 19th century - maybe 10 or 20 times the numbers circulating pre-bronze. Yes, the population was increasing, but not by that much surely? Does anybody have an answer to this? Maybe they needed more smaller denomination for buying goods coming from thier wages effects of the industrial revolution.

There are first,second and third source of information. If I will put a description on image gallery or album like seen in other reference books and on internet site,it is allowed or not? also on cross posting from one forum to another? also from one website to another? Or combination of all? What are the rules?

Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday TomGoodHeart.
