  2. The thread about Conder Tokens; when Edinburgh and Leith issued their own money

    This thread was originally written and published in September 2020.

    Today I have found out about Conder Tokens. Did you know about Conder Tokens? Until yesterday I didn’t know what they were and until today I didn’t know what they were called

    1796 Leith Conder Token. © Historic Environment Scotland, Trinity House collection

    Long story short, in 18th century Britain there was a chronic shortage of small denomination coinage due to excessive counterfeiting and low production of non-precious coins by the Royal Mint. But demand for them was soaring due to industrialisation and the need to pay workers and that there were ever more consumer goods around for people to buy. As a result, counterfeit coinage boomed, perhaps two thirds of all low-value coins may have been forgeries. The Royal Mint’s response was to simply stop producing copper coins and for 48 years from 1773-1821, they struck no copper coins.A Welsh industrialist – Thomas Williams of Llanidan, “the Copper King” – proposed an anti-counterfeiting edge to the coins to the Royal Mint so long as they used his copper, but they declined.

    Thomas Williams by Thomas Lawrence, c. 1792.

    Clearly a modern industrial country could not function without a means to pay and buy, so industry, led by Williams, resorted to simply producing their own coinage. Such coins, or tokens, could be traded freely at the denoted value and presented to some wealthy sponsoring merchant, industrialist or local worthy for exchange as required. Most people didn’t travel far or hold on to money for long, so these tokens were an ideal way for them to be paid and for them to buy things.

    A halfpenny token issued by the Parys Mine Company of Anglesey in 1788.

    The idea quickly caught on. The tokens were of a much higher quality than official coinage – indeed they are instantly recognisable to us as a variation of our modern pennies – and as they were issued by prominent businessmen the provenance could be trusted. The value of the copper content also made them less susceptible to being speculated on than promissory notes or other cheap tokens – they had an intrinsic value of their own. One of the biggest manufacturers of such coins was the industrialist Matthew Boulton (James “Condensing Steam Engine” Watt’s business partner).

    Matthew Boulton in 1792 by Carl Frederik von Breda

    Boulton had the machinery, the capital, the interests in copper mines, a personal stock of copper bought in a slump in the market and the contacts. He established the Soho Mint in the West Midlands in 1788 and went into volume minting of quality tokens. His machines were of his own patented design and were driven by steam engines. Each could mint 70 to 85 coins per minute.

    Boulton’s “Soho Mint” in the late 18th century

    Such was the demand for small coinage, these tokens quickly spread and were issued on a town-by-town, county-by-county basis. As such they are often called Provincial Tokens. The name Conder Token comes from James Conder, an issuer of such coins who soon became an avid collector and cataloguer of them.

    1794 Ipswich Conder Token, issued by Conder himself

    In 1797, the Government finally came to its senses about the financial crisis and issued Boulton a contract to mint official copper coinage and so provincial tokens began to wane. Production ceased by 1802, with a brief return in 1811-12, before finally being forbidden in 1817. Many Scottish municipalities joined in issuing local coinage during this time. The table shows the number of different coins known for each area of the country. The financial capital in the Lothians and the industrial capital in Lanarkshire were unsurprisingly the most prolific, alongside the trade centre in Dundee (Angus).

    And so this is how we come to there being such a thing as a Leith Ha’penny. This one, of 1797, shows a sailing ship on one side – an obvious Leith connection – and Britannia on the rear.

    1797 Leith ha’penny

    And the John White (a merchant of the Kirkgate) Leith ha’penny, wishing “Success to the Port” with another nautical scene, showing a ship entering the Port of Leith, and featuring the stuff of profitable trade on the back; gin and tea.

    1796 Leith Ha’penny

    So of course if Leith has Ha’pennies, of course Edinburgh has to have them to! Notice that Britannia is a gain a common theme, as are recognisable civic buildings. WRIGHT DES on the front refers to James Wright, an engraver from Dundee who designed many tokens. He was a correspondent with Conder, himself and was as keen a proponent and collector of them.

    And another version, earlier from 1790, featuring the municipal coat of arms and motto, thistles, and St. Andrew himself. Note the anchor on the rear, a symbol of both Edinburgh’s merchant prosperity and also its dominance over its port at Leith. These tokens were produced by Messrs. Hutchinson of Creech’s Land, an important old building at the west end of the Luckenbooths where Alan Ramsay had his book shop and had opened Scotland’s first circulating library in 1725.

    1790 Edinburgh Conder Token

    The Campbell’s Snuff of Edinburgh Ha’penny, the Turk’s Head being a connection to smoking. if you squint you can make out the name “James” below the head, for the engraver Charles James. Campbell’s shop was apparently the business of Euphame Campbell, which makes this doubly interesting as it must have been very rare to have a token in the name of a woman.

    1796 Edinburgh Conder Token

    The Archibald, Seedsman of Edinburgh Ha’penny. The coin features an Archibald family coat of arms on the front and an advert for his wares on the back. This Archibald was Joseph Archibald of West Nicolson Street, a burgess of the city, who kept a shop at 88 Chapel Street and a nursery at Lauriston, where a street, Archibald Place, is named for him.

    1796 Edinburgh Conder Token1796 Edinburgh Conder Token

    Harrison of St. Leonards, Ha’penny. Henry Harrison was a bucklemaker on St. Leonard’s Hill. Harrison’s cypher is on the reverse, with the anchor of trade on the front.

    1796 Edinburgh Conder Token

    Anderson, Leslie & Company Ha’penny from 1797, featuring the then new college building of the University on South Bridge. Again James Wright was the engraver. The wording around the edge of the reverse translates as “Nor let even the poor and infertile grounds lie neglected” and features a gardener. Not surprisingly given this design and wording, Anderson, Leslie & Company were also Seedsmen, based opposite the Mercat Cross in the Old Town.

  3. David Mamet, about Tom Stoppard, in The Free Press:
    "Steven Spielberg asked Tom to write the screenplay for Jaws, and Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC. Spielberg said, 'I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"
    "No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

  5. States with the most “City” communities

    Source: garden-city.org

    Listed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.

    When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!

  7. States with the most “City” communities

    Source: garden-city.org

    Listed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.

    When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!

  9. States with the most “City” communities

    Source: garden-city.org

    Listed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.

    When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!

  10. Weekly output: 5G platforms, AI in financial services, AI and supply chains, Kamala Harris on AI, AI infrastructure, Gmail’s AI calendar integration, Android 16, AI and information security

    It’s a rare week when my work doesn’t touch on AI at all, but moderating panels at a conference devoted to that subject–and writing up two other talks there–helped ensure that AI figured in all but two of the items below.

    3/10/2025: Practical means profitable: Telco talk about building services on 5G’s framework, Light Reading

    My MWC Barcelona coverage for outside clients closed out with this writeup for this trade-pub client–my first there in a few months–of a panel in which telco executives talked about how they were building new lines of business on their 5G platforms.

    Patreon readers, however, got one more post about MWC in which I shared three other highlights from the show.

    3/10/2025: Banking on AI for personalized customer experiences, HumanX

    The first panel I did at this conference–in Las Vegas for its first year, moving to San Francisco next year–had me quizzing Better.com’s Vishal Garg, Clearcover’s Kyle Nakatsuji, Honeybook’s Colleen Stauffer, Sunrise AI’s Deepak Shrivastava and S&P Global’s Bhavesh Dayalji about how they see AI changing customer service.

    3/10/2025: AI-powered supply chains: From farm to table and beyond, HumanX

    Since this panel–featuring Altana’s Peter Swartz, Fusion Fund’s Lu Zhang and Choco AI’s Daniel Khachab–focused on agriculture, I opened it by telling the audience that I found the subject particularly interesting because I eat food.

    3/11/2025: Kamala Harris Urges Those Working on AI to Consider Trust, Empathy, PCMag

    The former vice president–whom I last saw in person in October from much farther away–was a late addition to the conference agenda. I hustled to get from the airport to the conference hotel, check in, drop by bag and get over to the event in time to get a seat in the third row for the Sunday-evening program that ended with Harris.

    3/11/2025: Rethinking infrastructure: Custom solutions for the AI era, HumanX

    My big takeaway from the conversation I had onstage with Sid Sheth of d-Matrix and Ami Badani of Arm: Industry hype about AGI (“artificial general intelligence” that could replicate a human brain) is a distraction, and not a particularly helpful one at that.

    3/11/2025: Gmail Gets AI Calendar Feature That Apple Added to Its Mail App in 2007, PCMag

    I missed this Google announcement Monday but had to write about it once I realized that the feature Google touts as an AI advancement is something that Apple delivered with plain old software in Mac OS X Leopard 18 years ago.

    3/13/2025: Android 16 Inches Toward a Launch With Accessibility-Focused Third Beta Release, PCMag

    Google PR gave me an advance on the news of third beta release of Android 16.

    3/14/2025: Ex-Facebook CISO Warns: 95% of Bugs in Your AI System Haven’t Been Invented Yet, PCMag

    I always learn something when Alex Stamos talks about information security, and I was happy to share that with PCMag readers.
