| 7450 | MINT00688 | Proposal concerning the premption of tin | 103 | 38 | 3,522 | 1705 | Detailed proposal to increase tin consumption by making halfpence of tin and using tin bars in various denominations as currency, with a suggestion for paper money backed by reserves of tin. The 'Bulk and Ponderosity of the s[ai]d Tin-money' [according to Craig, NATM, 59, the larger coins would have weighed two to three hundredweight] will be no disadvantage, but serve rather to encourage the establishment of banks and the use of paper money, and to deter counterfeiters.||[See Craig, NATM, 58-9.] | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||
