22 New decimal and equivalent Coins proposed. 



" Of which Tahle, and of 9 other similar and succeeding 

 pages, a great number of stereotyped copies shouhl be issued. 



''' The large figures sliow the Coins that are now, and sliould 

 I suga:est be put speedily into circulation : the five first of the 

 new Decimal Monies, should be of Copper, and be inscribed on 

 one side respectively. One Thousand/h, TwoTlvusandlhs, Four 

 ThotisoTidths, One Hundiedt/i, and Tivo Hundredths ; and two 

 others of Silver, inscribed Four Hundredths and One Tenth, re- 

 spectively*. 



" The 5 new small Coins (as only for tempo) ary use) might be 

 of Iron and very thin, so as almost to equal a farthing in diameter, 

 and have inscribed on one side One JSlite, Two Mites, Four 

 Mites, Ten Mites, and Twenty Miles, respectivelv; and around 

 these latter inscriptions, it would be ])roper to circumscribe, ititk 

 07ieTJi.ousa?idlh, makes u Farthln£[; ivitk Tivo Thousandths, makes 

 a Halfpenny; icifh Four Thousandths, makes a Fenny ; luitk 

 One Tenth, makes Tuope7ice-ha/fpe7i.iu/ ; and with Two Tenths, 

 makes Fivepence, resi;ectively ; by which means, the uses anJ 

 values of these temporary Coins, would be soon understood by 

 every one, and the above Coins would suffice, for readily making 

 up any exact sum required. 



" As fast as bargains and dealings came to be made in the De- 

 cimal Money, the Mites (and their column, in accounts) would 

 be laid aside ; and after a sufiicieut time, when this came to be 

 almost wholly the case, in consequence of further issues of the 

 new Coin, all the present Coin might be called in, and the use 

 of three troublesome columns in accounts, wholly done away ; 

 and what is of even greater consequence, every price will be ready 

 without any reduction, for multiplying by its quantity of a com- 

 modity (these also to be decimal) and the result would in no case 

 need any reduction, advantages that would be incalculable, in a 

 trading and scientific community. 



" The trouble of such small Coin, and of a Column, of very 

 trifling amount in most cases, to carry at 25, would, 1 think, 

 operate favourably, to induce bargains to bamade and prices of 

 articles to adjust themselves, ere long, to the Decim;il Money; 

 Trustees of Turnpike Roads and Bridges having their Tolls /?xe^ 

 and mostly paid in Copper, (who seem to have the greatest dif- 

 ficulties to surmount) might be induced to lower the Tolls under 

 6d (and odd co])])er, above it) to the decimal Money, on being al- 

 lowed i)y the Quarter Sessions, on production of correct accounts 

 of their separate Tolls, to advance the higher Tolls on Carriages, 



* "Some niav perhaps think it npccssary, to issue thrco other new 

 Coins; viz. for Ticeatti-fivc T/idU.wndl/is, Five Ilundrcdt/is, and Seventr/- 

 feve Tlioumndtlis of a round, re-^pectivcly.
