SHODDY SILVER.
‘Tn ten years, unless the Act of 192 ft be repealed, the whole of our so-call-ed silver wflil be ‘ring straked and speckled/ showing patches either of yellow surface 'for the earlier, or of red ''surface for the later, issues. There is still enough of the old money issued 'before 1920, in circulation to disguise the effect of the new money in a casual handfull of change. When the old money has disappeared—and it is going fast—the whole of our fractional currency will be a deplorable •sight. Let any reader take a pound’s worth of change pick out and reject any coins issued before 1920, and any others' of the laJst two years, and then contemplate the remainder, and judge what they will be Hike after a few more years of usage.”—Sir Charles Oman, M.P., fn th'e “Banker.”
