My Coin yearbook 2008 says that 1,220,000(?) of that coin has been struck. Nevertheless, I really love those big coppers. However they make terrible pocket pieces. If you like carrying one around in your pocket like I do with my 1994 Australia year of the Family 50c, unlike Cupronickel, they tend to wound up pretty easy.

I readily believe that. But as I mentioned a bunch of them were melted around 1800, so ... around 722k were left for our enjoyment.

For you history buffs I recommend Richard Doty's "The SOHO
Mint and the Industrialization of Money". It includes lots of
information on the cartwheel pence and twopence drawn from
the Boulton papers.
