To the Editor of the Evening Stab.
Siis, —Will you kindly inform me through the medium of your valuable columns of tli« value of American coin in this part of the world. I had occasion to get some changed into current money this morning. On going to the Bank of New Zealand I was politely informed by the cashier that tlie Bank only gave for 20-dollar pieces £3 18s. to tradesmen, while to sailors of the American man-of-war they gave £4. I ihen went to the Union Bank of Australasia, and they gave me £4 each for them.
Surely gold is worth as much to one Bank as another, or worth as much in one ninn'g hands as another'?. I know also of two of my neighbours who received at the Union Bank full value. Surely times are not so flourishing now that a man can afford to lose 5 per cent, on his gold.—l am, &c. 3T. H. Lewisson.
