In older documents, silver coins with an iron core (Eisenschröttling; iron planchet). Such coins were often fraudulently put into circulation. – Long before electroplating (electroplating; galvanization) came into large-scale use in the post-1800 period, unfaithful coiners employed sophisticated techniques (tricky techniques) to counterfeit coins. – See ballast, money, evil, doublé coins, counterfeit money, counterfeiters, money, evil, cat money, coin, subplumbates.
