Interesting fact
The Vermontensium Copper coin from 1786 is interesting because it was issued by the Republic of Vermont, which was a short-lived independent state that existed before Vermont became the 14th state of the United States in 1791. This coin was one of the few coins issued by the Republic of Vermont and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
