Hi Pete
we both know that the weight will decide the issue.

The first copper penny was the famous Cartwheel Penny struck by Matthew Boulton at the Soho Mint, Birmingham in 1797, during the reign of George III. It weighed a full one ounce (28.3g) with a diameter of 36mm, and was rather heavy for the pocket. Many have survived being used as weights for kitchen scales.

A British 1797 Twopence  has a 41 mm diameter,
