Definición

• A name given to clumsy imitations of the English half pennies which circulated extensively in Pennsyl- vania and the other states in the latter part of the eighteenth century.

  The name is probably derived from the slang term, " to bung, " meaning to cheat or deceive.

  There is an extensive list of them in At- kins. See also Amer. Journal of Numis- matics (xxxiii. 67, xxxvi. 94).
