A coin named after a real person is the Joey, a four- pence piece honoring Joseph Hume, M.P. for Kilkenny, who in 1835 recommended that groats be coined for the sake of paying short cab fares and other small transactions. American circus performers coined the word Joey for a circus performer in hon- or of English actor Joseph Grimaldi (1779–1837). An infant of one year when he made his London debut at the Drury Lane Theatre, Grimaldi performed for almost half a century in En- gland. Starting his career as a dancer, he later became interna- tionally famous as the first of modern clowns, one of the best known and beloved performers of his time. Grimaldi, the London-born son of an Italian actor, had no equal in panto- mime and his much-acclaimed portrayal of a clown in Mother Goose has been revived many times over the years.
