English copper coins and their imitations circulated extensively in early America and are described on pages 69–71.
Other items frequently used as money in early America included cut fractions of various silver coins. These were cut by private individuals. The quarter 8-reales coin was “two bits.” Worn and cut portions of coins usually passed for change according to their weight.
