THzRE is q vast amount of stuff circuIa-
ting as money in this city at this time
which is not only not money, but which is
passed as such either in gross ignorance
or in gross defiance of the law. The little
metallic tokens With the words "army"
or "navy'' printed on them, are utterly
worthless, as are those having the name of
some person aud his place of business on
them, and all are in defiance OF the law of
Congress making it a grave offence to coin
OF circulate anything intended to pass as
money. The law attaches a penalty Of
$500 for its violation.
This spurious coin is q great evil
Thousands of dollars of it are in circula-
ton throughout the country and many
persons are ignorant enough to save ii
as something valuable. In the Eastern
cities the United States officers have bro
ken up its circulation, and in New York
the street cars and all small change deaf
ers refuse to receive anything but the law
