It says the local council got them minted and then got into hot water with the uk treasury as they were being used to purchased goods. Anyone know the correct story on these coins, or are they just shiny metal ? Thanks John Report this Post to the Staff

As such, they also turn up in a search on the NGC database, which includes coins listed in UWC. Here's one example.
