The British province of
Nova Scotia was years.
ahead of the rest of Canada
in discontinuing the use of.
private tokens in common
business. In 1817 (as op-
posed to 1858 for Upper and
Lower Canada) officials in
Nova Scotia applied to the
British government for
permission to disallow
private tokens and to strike

copper coins. ,
- Permission was granted

In 1860 the government of

. New Brunswick switched to -

a decimal. system _ of...

. coinage. The next coin issue.
was in 1861 and the Royal

Mint in London mistakenly
minted half-cents. that had .
not been ordered by the

colonial authority. These —

were so close in appearance
tothe N.S. halfs that some of
them found their way into:
circulation regardless of the

mint’s efforts. te,
