Cleanup needed
Flagged for cleanup - various issues, gen context, intro, balance -- needs a historian's and numismatist's attention. --mervyn (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Coinage
found this reference and wonder it it may be relavent in some way?Talskiddy 22:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The etymology of the word 'coin', comes from a piece of cornered metal ; To coin, the act of cornering such block of metal.

In Cornwall, the blocks of tin, when first run into moulds from the smelting furnace, are square and when the metal is to be fined or assayed, the miner's phrase is, that it is to be coined ; for the corners of the moulded block are cut off, and subjected to the assay; and the degree of fineness proved is stamped on the now cornerless block — thereafter called a coin of tin.


 * Not sure that it would be relevant to this article, but interesting nonetheless - I had known that coinage (in the stannary sense) was from coin=corner, but hadn't made the link to coin. Chambers Dictionary has them both ultimately from Latin cuneus, a wedge. DuncanHill (talk) 23:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

New Links
I don't tend to have much luck with images on wikipedia. I've provide a link at the bottom of the article to *katespapermoney.com although I'm not sure whether there is enough information there to validate it's presence Fletch 2002 (talk) 00:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
