They were created by <a title=\"Matthew Boulton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matthew_Boulton\">Matthew Boulton<\/a> at the Soho Mint in Handsworth, Birmingham in 1797. Eight of these cartwheel twopence coins, laid side by side, measure exactly one foot, an unusual sort of anti-counterfeiting measure. They weighed exactly 2oz a piece, the one penny weighing&nbsp; exactly 1oz. At the time they were produced it is believed that as much as two thirds of the copper coinage in circulation in the UK was fake. They were also the first official British coins struck using steam power.<br>A quick and easy way of telling a cartwheel twopence from the one pence, without a side by side comparison, is to measure the thickness of the coin. A cartwheel twopence is 5mm or 1 fifth of an inch thick and the cartwheel one pence is 3mm thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/2010\/11\/cartwheel-twopence-coins-cartwheel-penny-craziness\/cartwheel-two-penny-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-337\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/cartwheel-two-penny-2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Cartwheel two penny coins produced by the Soho Mint\" class=\"wp-image-337\" title=\"Cartwheel two penny coins produced by the Soho Mint\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/cartwheel-two-penny-2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/cartwheel-two-penny-2-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=834\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-354\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"http:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Soho-mint-mark-beneath-shield-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"Soho mint mark beneath Britannia's shield\" class=\"wp-image-834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Soho-mint-mark-beneath-shield-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Soho-mint-mark-beneath-shield-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detecting.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Soho-mint-mark-beneath-shield.jpg 1235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Soho mint mark beneath Britannia&#8217;s shield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew Boulton and his Soho Mint also produced tokens for the East India Company.
