Interesting coins

I had a little look around the Works at lunch time and found some replica old 1750s coins. Thought that some of you coin buffs might be interested to know...

You can get ointment for that. :wink:

Sounds interesting, but I don't think there are any of their outlets near me.

Um . . . for those of us who aren't familiar with British currency, please explain what a groat is and why it is banned in 37 states in the U.S.
