The Machins Mills coinage refers to a series of countermarked coins produced in the late 18th century, specifically around 1784, in a mint operated by Robert Machin, an Englishman in New York. These coins primarily consisted of Spanish dollars and various other foreign and domestic coins that were manipulated for local circulation in the United States. They often featured a distinctive "M" countermark, indicating their origin. The copper versions of these coins are particularly collectible due to their historical significance and rarity, providing insight into early American commerce and coinage practices during a period of economic transition.
