Warren and List: Warren is correct in one aspect of his answer.......hallmark or approval on certain items but NOT any currency as money/gold/silver........ .....there was a great deal of this product in early NEW ENGLAND and it was monitored closely by assayers. clue #2: This item MAY have been used for bartering when money was scarce..........but on the other hand, it was made at home as well as in large amounts. clue #3: some tried using base metals with this item, and if caught were punished.
