What is it about?
Instead of walky-talky papers on Newton, which recently flooded various journals, here is an honest quantitative paper that asks and answers an interesting question.

Why is it important?
Not everyone knows that Isaac Newton worked at the Royal Mint, moreover, that he worked there a second half of his adult life (from 1696 to his death in 1727, counting his adulthood loosely from his entering Trinity College in 1661).
Perspectives
I have a continuation of this paper, "Variation of Coins in Weight as a New Measure of Technological Level of the country: From Neale and Newton to the modern time". No journal agreed to publish it yet!
