	British coinage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1920, the silver content of all British coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%, with a portion of the remainder consisting of manganese, which caused the coins to tarnish to a very dark colour after they had been in circulation for a significant period.
		The weight of this coin was instituted by Charlemagne, and the purity of 92.5% silver (i.e., sterling silver) was instituted by Henry II in 1158 with the "Tealby Penny"—a hammered coin.
		All British coins produced since 1662 have been milled; the first milled coins were produced during the reign of Elizabeth I and periodically during the reigns of James I and Charles I, but there was opposition to mechanisation from the moneyers who ensured that most coins continued to be produced by hammering.

		The Johanneses were gold coins, 8 escudos (12,800 reis) in denomination; their name derived from the obverse of the coin, which bore the bust of Johannes V. Minted in Portugal and Brazil, they were commonly known in the colonies as “joes.” The fractional denominations were 4 escudo and 2 escudo coins of the same origin.
		The 4 escudo (6,400 reis) coin, or “half joe,” was one of the most commonly used coins in the late colonial period.
		The ratings attached to individual coins were not haphazard: they were designed to reflect the relative weight and purity of the bullion in each coin, as well as the ratio of gold to silver prices prevailing in the wider world.

	Introduction to Coins of Colonial and Early America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Several of the British coins as well as many of the counterfeit British and related North American coppers and some of the Spanish silver, are from a collection of some 2,300 coins anonymously donated to Notre Dame in 1887.
		All coins are presented in full color and have been uniformly scanned at 100% image size, therefore the proportions of the coin images are relative to each other.
		Coins and tokens traditionally collected as part of the Colonial American series have been included even when they are now considered to have not circulated in America in any significant quantity, as the "Voci populi" coppers or the Franklin Press Token, since many colonial collectors still look for these items in the series.
