Arguments Against
Making Paper Coins

NTHE Secretary OF the Treasury is con-
/stantly receiving suggestions for the
Improvement of our currency. Some
of these suggestions are so absurd they
never reach the Secretary at all, but are
thrown In the waste basket or politely turned
down by means OF a note by some clerk.
And again there are many suggestions sent
in TO the Department of the Treasury that
are worthy of consideration at least.
One OF these suggestions was for the
-minting" of paper coins Not the old-time
script OF our grandfathers, called shin
pIasters," representing sums Of ten, twenty
nve and Gfty cents but round coins made Of
the same sort of fibre that paper Is made
from II Is claimed advantages for such
coins that they could be made just about
durable as metal coins, that they would
weigh only a fraction of what the metal
coins weigh and that they would be handler
aud better all around. This proposition in.
cluded the suggestion that the value could
be stamped upon each OF these fibre coins
and an equal sum In gold deposited In the
LLited States Tresury.
The Secretary of the Treasury. while In.
terested in this suggestion. promptly found
several objections TO such coins He de
oiared they could be far more easily coun-
,erfeited that they would become soft from
wearing and dampness.. and would shelter
millions of germs where a coin harbors only
thousands.
