The first copper pennies were made in 1797 (like the one shown in the video). Up until then, the penny was a small silver coin.

[@thearchaeologistslaborator6591]

You're right. However, England was minting copper halfpennies from 1694 onward. Sir Isaac Newton, during the reign of Queen Anne, was both scientist and Mintmaster, and a real stickler for making sure the copper was pure.

What a absolutely insane economy with like 6 different types of coins

[@thearchaeologistslaborator6591]

Actually, a lot more than 6... Must have been pretty confusing.
