FOLLY OF BOARDING SMALL Co1N-Those
people who now hoard cents and three cent
pieces, do it, probably, in the belief that they
are much more valuable than the regular pa
per currency. We suppose they do not un-
dcrstand that cents and three cent pieces are
not worth what they pass for, and that they
are not legal tender for the payment of debts
amounting to more than thirty cents. A person
MAJ hoard three cent pieces to the amount Of
hundreds of dollars, but he cannot ay debts
with them or use them at all in business trans
actions, beyond the amount specified. if others
refuse to take them; and with cents the case is
still worse, Such boarding is foolish business.
These small coins were made to circulate as
change, and they were made to pass for more
than they are intrinsical)v worth, in order to
keep them in circulation; therefore let them
circulate.
