This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

This entry needs someone more experienced in writing articles about currency. I've set up the references for images and text. Hopefully this will help

Cleanup needed[edit]

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)[reply]

Coinage[edit]

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)[reply]

New Links[edit]

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)[reply]
