British coins circulating in colonies ?

  After finding out that the 1950 & 51 penny and the 52 sixpence circulated in colonies I also would like to know what others were shipped out.
  I know of...

1950/51 pennies (Caribbean)

1952 sixpence

Threehalfpence (West Indies & others)

Quarter farthing (Ceylon)

Third farthing  (Malta)

4d before official coinage for Guiana was released some were sent to replace the 1/4 guilder the 1888 example was specifically for Guiana.

West Indies anchor dollar also circulated in Mauritius.
Any others ?

 There was also a half farthing which also was for use in Ceylon.

Ah yes I forgot about that I have a lovely 1844 one and an 1843 although that one is holed

All current British coins were accepted in South Africa until 1939 on par with the local coins.

I suppose you can safely assume that British homeland type coins were used for circulation in many, if not all the British colonies, at least in the 19th and the beginning of the the 20th century, even if not shipped out there in bulk for this purpose. E.g., you don't seriously think that all the trade in St.Helena colony was covered since Napoleon exile until the last quarter of the 20th century by a 1/2 penny issued in 1821?

Take another example: Ghana. After the Gold Coast Ackeys of the end of the 18th century and of 1818 there is a huge time gap until 1907 when the first British West Africa coins appeared. What coinage served the trade? Of course, there were bronze Manilas and other primitive money, but European traders had to use coins in their business, and these coins had to be mainly British. I doubt that for political reasons a colonial power would allow large quantities of foreign currency used in its colony.

My main collecting interest is coins which circulated in Africa. For the purpose of representing British colonies on this continent I collect all British homeland types from the cartwheel copper 1d & 2d of 1797 which were imported into the Cape Colony by the British when they took over from the Dutch until the coins dated 1939. I could not find any data about the official use of British coins in circulation in British African colonies after the Second World War.

andrey where do you get your information from anything like this and you know it i need access :D

Mark,
Mainly from books and experience (I've been actively collecting African coins for the last quarter century).
As for the info on South African monetary system and history I would recommend a book by C.L. Engelbrecht "Money in South Africa".
Seeing what you use for an avatar, you probably know (or at least have heard about) the book by David Vice "The Coinage of British West Africa & St.Helena 1684-1958"

What I wrote about the British homeland coinage used in the colonies to service the trade was also true for African colonies of other European powers. Some colonies did not have their own coinage at all before independence (e.g. Namibia, then German South West Africa, used German coins from 1884 to 1916, British from 1916 to 1939 and South African from 1923 to 1991). Former or current colonies did not have "their own"   coinage since the time when active trade with Europe was introduced. This trade required coinage (not immediately from the first years of colonization, but soon enough from a historical perspective). We should not forget that coins were not always mint for collectors, but initially were meant to facilitate trade    Logically, when there was no, or not enough "local" coinage in a colony, the colonial power had to fill or at least to supplement the required quantity of coins in circulation. Also visitors from colonial powers usually didn't bother to exchange their money for the "local colonial" one, but simply used their homeland coins to pay for goods and services, and these coins were readily accepted.

It is quite common.

I'm not sure about Britain's other Colonies but I know here in Australia prior to Federation (1901) British Currency was the main circulating currency.
Even after Federation British Currency was still in circulation and was widely accepted as legal tender.
When Australia did introduce its own currency, it was based on the Imperial Pound Sterling model (£, S, d - Pounds, Shilling, Pence) right up until 1966 when Australia introduced Decimal Currency.
As a result of these initial early ties to Britain, it's not uncommon or overly difficult for Australian Numismatic buffs to find good quality examples of Imperial British Currency if they know where & how to look.
To this day, Australia remains a member of The Commonwealth & the obverse of all our coinage features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (Current image by Ian Rank-Broadly - 4th Image).
I hope that's of some help.

I sort of assumed that most British coins would have circulated in the colonies, its just nice to have properly documented coins that were logged as used in colonies you know.

I have long been interested in Australian coins even before I started collecting again. As a child I found it odd our Queen would appear on coins from other countries !

I also find it strange that we minted a 1780 X Maria theresa Thaler for a trade coin in Aden :S

1780 Maria Theresa Thaler restrikes were mint in many countries outside Austria in order to provide traders in Middle East and East Africa with currency they readily accepted. It was the same as trading in China in earlier times for opium or making Manilas (copper bracelets) in Birmingham for trade in West Africa. If locals wanted some specific currency in exchange for their goods and British or other European traders could provide the required "currency" at a profit to themselves, they provided it.  

Apparently (& I've got no evidence to support this it's just something I've read in several articles) United States "Morgan Silver Dollars" were also used throughout the world in the late 19th/early 20th century as a trade currency due to their "Intrinsic" silver value (Large coin, .900 Fine).
