not halfpennies....but since the last one posted was from `Birmingham', here's it's big brother and an uncle!

 

copper penny (Birmingham Workhouse) dated 1812, and a copper three pence (Birmingham Workhouse) dated 1813. The three pence is the size of a small hockey puck and you would definitely need assistance to carry around eighty of these if you were buying anything valued at 1 pound. There's an example of the silver workhouse shilling in the `silver shilling tokens' thread.

These are neat tokens. I remember reading a piece a number of years ago about the Workhouse Tokens. I think it may have been in the Numismatist. I'll see if I can find it again.

I love conder tokens, and have considered starting a collection for several years. But I need to learn more first, so thanks for the link.
