Machin's Mills coins are a series of counterfeit or unofficial coins produced in the late 18th century, specifically around 1777, in New York by the Machin's Mills mint. These coins were primarily modeled after colonial and early American coinage styles, often made of copper. They were intended to circulate as a form of currency during a time when the American Revolutionary War was creating a shortage of legitimate coinage in the United States. Due to their historical significance and unique characteristics, Machin's Mills coins are highly sought after by collectors today.
