Yes, Sir Isaac newton ordered a famous coiner, William Chaloner, executed in March, 1699. This was not really that shocking since Sir Isaac served as His Majestyâ??s Warden of the Mint and this was one of the job duties. Once convicted, it was Newtonâ??s obligation to sign the order to have Chaloner hung.
