Cornish currency

Currency, in the form of coins, has been issued in Cornwall periodically since at least the 10th century AD, while banknotes were issued into the 19th century.
==Cornish mints==

The earliest known Cornish mint was at Launceston (originally at St Stephen by Launceston), which operated on a minimal scale at the time of Ethelred II, in 976 AD (that is, before Cornwall received full diocesan jurisdiction in the year 994 AD). Only one specimen, a heavy (1.61 g.) coin, is known to exist.〔Metcalf, David Michael (1998) ''An Atlas of Anglo-Saxon and Norman Coin Finds, c. 973-1086''. Oxford: Ashmolean Museum〕〔''British Numismatic Journal''; ser. I, vol. 3, p. 107, pl. 264〕 After the Norman Conquest, Robert, Count of Mortain (William the Conqueror's half-brother) was given much of Cornwall, including Dunheved and rebuilt the castle there. He expropriated the market and mint from the canons of St Stephen and the townspeople followed these to Dunheved.〔Cornish Church Guide (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 198〕 The mint was reopened halfway through the Conqueror's reign.
Another early reference to the Cornish currency, the "dynar," is found in a thirteenth-century Cornish play containing the line "dhodh a dela pymp cans dyner", which translates as "he was owed five hundred dyner." The only English coin at the time was the silver penny: presumably the ''dynar'' was equivalent to this.
A Royalist mint was established in Truro in 1642-43 during the English Civil War by Sir Richard Vyvyan; in September 1643 it was moved to Exeter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mintmarks Charles I & Charles II )
