If you refer to the British 1797 Penny and Twopence coins, they may have been cursed by the people who had to use them.
Both coins were very big and very heavy, even by the standards of the day.
The 1797 "Cartwheel" Penny weighed 1 ounce or 28.35 grams and was 36 mm in diameter.
The 1797 "Cartwheel" Twopence weighed 2 ounces or 56.7 grams and was 41 mm in diameter.

Many of these tokens bear a resemblance in size and metal to the official coinage of the period.
