iinguished English writer, has from tht
seporl ofthe English and American mints
asceriained that there is a loss on gol'
coin by wear and tear Of 4.6l per cent
IN a century, which is less than i-20'h pc
cent. per anum; and so that Of.eVe'y 1901
coined in any particular year, there woul
remain over 95L rs. l0d, in real value a

next made of the expense of paper cul
