[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 630489, member: 7587"] Here's a 1844 crown I found at Stawell. Its edge is stamped. Decus et tutamen. anno regni v111. According to google, This meant, An ornament and a safe guard. Coins were stamped like this to stop people shaving the edges. Google says that this is where the term, penny pinching came from.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1641388457_img_20210914_090242.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1641388457_img_20210914_090405_1.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1641388457_img_20210914_092022_1.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1641388457_img_20210914_092126_1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
