(Pennies from Heaven)
Richard Trevithic’s steam loco ran the streets of Cornwall in 1801, 1804 he pulls a train of 10 ton of iron ore and 70 passengers! But It would take the finance of the (New ‘Recoinage’ age) to produce the new Gold Sovereign under King George 111 in 1817 to finance or invest into Stephenson’s Rocket in 1829! Currencies of countries rise and fall? Depending how they do in the world? I feel sure that I could run a water company at a loss, To pollute the rivers and pay investors, and to then get 2 million in bonus payments? My coin is showing 200 years of investment! An 1817 coin is very expensive, (Even if ever found)! But the same gold exchange of 7-98 grams to be worth £861 quid this day! The same gold element born of interstellar explosion Billions and Billions of years ago? What are countries worth, less that they sit on vast Oil reserves? Without need there would be no greed! But the gold sovereign finances on its Gold content! It paid the workers to clear the land and construct the bridges and lay the rail, for the humble Shilling! The Railway is born!
