TIE object of the proposed coinage. as was stated
at the time in the United Press dispatch was to
utilize the selgnorage arising from the coinage.
This seigniorage. with the mintage facilities avail
able. would not amount to more than $4,000 Q

coinage to the seisniorage up TO 100000 Q
month. The coinage OF the seigniorage thus obtained
