COIN. 
should be optional in the receipt of any 
larger sums. 4. These last mentioned coins 
ought to represent a value in gold equal to 
their own quantity of metal, at the highest 
(or perhaps medium) market price added 
to the charge of fabrication. 5. No suffi- 
cient reason has yet been given to shew 
that the standard of gold coin should be 
changed to render it more durable. 6. The 
best figure of coin is a short cylinder, or flat 
round plate. And, 7. The distinctive marks 
or impressions should be made neither al- 
together hollow, or altogether in relief, but 
by combination of both forms, so as to 
leave a flat bearing face on each side.
