Removed waffling and patronising paragraph:

Of course the original groat or half groat, in its day, would have bought considerably more than its modern equivalent, and might also have a value, both in the current antique coin market and metal commodities markets, well above two or four pence.

[edit] Agricultural groat

I found this page because I was looking for information on groats in the agricultural sense of the word. I know that oat kernels, when dehulled, are called "oat groats" and I know that other grains are called "groats" sometimes, so I wanted to find out which grains can be called "groats" and when. I am a newbie to wiki stuff; is this worth making another page and a disambiguation page, or is the agricultural meaning of the word "groat" too obscure for Wikipedia? --Steveha 17:59, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I too was looking for the alternative meaning of Groat, it appears to me to be any part of the dehulked grain kernal, not just pertaining to oats. However I am not sure of this, anyone in the know should do something about this lack of information on wikipedia. --62.173.194.7 12:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Groschen

  • Oppose - etymologically related, but of quite different history like the dollar and the thaler. --MacRusgail 17:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I am a collector of English hammered coinage. The groat while similar to Groschen is very different and it's place in English history is very distinct. Therefore to merge it would lessen it's importance and might cause confusion on those who do not know it's history. --hmscook 19:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
