Quote: "yvon"....all coins are related, in a way....
ha ha ha ha so funny ( sarcastic )
well what I was referring to was all these coins look like they where created at the same mint because there punched pieces of copper and I wanted to know where they made from the Same place

I remember reading a few years ago that around 1800 a Matthew Boulton created
machinery including a coin press - so maybe all three are using it around that time. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces947.html [some information on there]
This is a very interesting discussion, despite some harmless snark.
I am always looking for connections like this, especially hoping to find coins struck at the same time on common planchets.
I dont know anything about the Moulton machine or early British coinage. It would be a challenge to discover if all the cartwheel coins were made on the same machine. The time span seems to cover 60 or 70 years, and there are numerous sizes.
The Liberian issue that matches the English penny (same diameter at least) is the 2 cent struck in 1862 only https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces64311.html
I am almost interested enough to start collecting them, but they are somewhat expensive.

That's what i was thinking. like i was always interested in the cartel penny and it really surprised me that all this coins looked very similar in width, dimensions, and rim that is punched out.
I just remembered I have this 1794 token, so made just before the Government stopped
private companies making such tokens, and gave production back to the Royal Mint ...

Nice !
that's so cool though like there such interesting piece of history, i was trying to find more that where carweel. it was so nice for you to share the other :)
Just now I searched the the Soho mint you mentioned at the start, together
with Boulton surname, and this is the first result, which agrees with my memory ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho_Mint
So the mint was the building, and in it was placed the machinery made by Boulton.
