NO MORE HALF-SOVEREIGNS
PECULIAR EFFECT OP WAR CON- j DITIONS. .. I
By TeleeraDh.—Press Association- j Auckland, March 17. _ ; A peculiar effect of the war condi« j tions has just been learned; by bank- j ing institutions. For. some reason i which has not been made public, 'ths j Australian mints are not able to make ! half-sovereigns, and further supplies or j this coin will not be available until after the war. . The manage! 1 of one oC j the Auckland banks stated that half- . j sovereigns at present'in circulation wtty i not be withdrawn, but no further sup- j pties can now be obtained. He ro> j marked that the public will experience ! very little inconvenience from this re- J Btriction of currency, a3 payments may. ,] be made by half-crowns instead of' half- > sovereigns, and there is no difficulty I in icgard to the minting of silver. The ; production of sovereigns has not been. ; uffect'ed by the causes responsible for j the discontinuance of the supply of liau-sovereigns. It is understood that; j supplfes of new half-sovereigns have been discontinued by London mints" as j weTi as Australian. ■
