Here is an assortment of colonial coins, none of which were intended for circulation in the UK. The half farthing eventually found its way back home and circulated for a short time.
Quarter farthings and half farthings were used in Ceylon whilst the third farthings were intended for use in Malta.

I have some farthing Conders that are the size of a dime.
I wonder what these low-denomination coins bought, even in those days?
Great giveaway!!! Please enter me.
