Interesting fact
The Token 1 Farthing coin from the United Kingdom, made of Copper in 1780, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic hardship and was used as a substitute for the official currency, which was in short supply. This coin was not officially sanctioned by the government, but it was widely accepted and used by the public. It is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people during difficult times.
