Interesting fact

The 1 Stiver coin from Demerara and Essequibo (Guyana) made of Copper weighing 18.75g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency in the British colonies in South America, specifically in Guyana, during the reign of King George III in 1813. It was a standard circulation coin and was used for everyday transactions. Despite being made of copper, it was still considered a valuable form of currency during that time.
