I know I have seen one, many years ago...it is a Bermuda cent. There is an interesting history of Sommer Islands (Bermuda) "Hogge Money", dating back to 1615. Here is an intersting link:

Congrats on the pig!! I found one a few years back at the beach. It was modern day and I believe it was from Bermuda.
