Some convicted criminals from the British Isles who were sentenced to transportation to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries used coins to leave messages of remembrance to loved ones left behind in Britain. The coins were defaced, smoothed and inscribed, either by stippling or engraving, with sometimes touching words of loss. These coins were called "convict love tokens" or "leaden hearts".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nma.gov.au/collections/convict_tokens |title=Convict tokens, National Museum of Australia |publisher=Nma.gov.au |date=2012-01-25 |access-date=2016-10-05 |archive-date=2011-09-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110920235935/http://www.nma.gov.au/collections/convict_tokens/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Some of these tokens are in the collection of the [[National Museum of Australia]].
