title = "Sarah Sophia Banks, Adam Afzelius and a Coin from Sierra Leone",
abstract = "In 1792, this penny for use in Sierra Leone was struck in Birmingham, UK, on the new steam-powered coining presses at the Soho Mint. This method of manufacturing coins, developed through a partnership between Birmingham entrepreneur Matthew Boulton and Scottish engineer James Watt, revolutionized the production of small change—a constant problem throughout the history of money—since it meant that large numbers of identical low-denomination coins could be produced cheaply and quickly, for the first time.1 ",
