jbuck Moderator United States 188130 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 10:51 am Quote: UK 2 Pence 1797 Cartwheel - only slightly larger than an Ike in diameter (41 mm vs. 38.1 mm) but much thicker (5 mm vs. 2.58 mm) and heavier (56.7 g vs. 22.68 g).

Dearborn Moderator United States 95489 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 2:02 pm great example Hondo (I like how you put a piece of paper (or something) between the coins). Collecting since 1972.

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 8:52 pm I like that UK 2 Pence, Hondo. But why such a huge coin for a small denomination? Even back in the day, the metal alone would be worth more? Or not? Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25095 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 9:08 pm NumisEd, it was commodity money in that the coin contained 2 pence worth of copper (at that time). I suppose that it bought more than we might think but I'm not sure how much. They didn't last for a long time as before long the copper value exceeded the declared value and you know what happened next!

I didn't think it would fool you Hondo, (I was hoping that jbuck would see it first.) But your first response help to make jbuck's reply even better. But jbuck's reply was just as funny Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
