In 16th-century England, there were two types of one-pound coins: one made of gold and one of copper. Although the gold coin was worth more than the copper coin (because it was gold), the face value of both coins was the same.

This had consequences: people exchanged the copper coins for the gold ones and melted them down. (automatic, unedited translation from German)
