Notes
Advise rejection of the bid, since such a metal is likely to be very useful to counterfeiters, there is no way of testing its intrinsic value, and nothing like 1,000 tons of extra copper money is needed anyway.||Draft of T. 1/172.25, MINT00981 (printed in Shaw, 186-7, where it is misdated 27 January, and NC, 6: 58-9). Another draft at MINT00893(b) (Mint 19/2/334-5). Tunnah's and Dale's proposal is also in Shaw, 188-9.
