SQUARE PENNIES PART
 OF AUSTRALIAN COIN

SYDNEY, Australia, July (by Associated Press) Australia is about to mint square pennies and half pen- nies of nickel These will so into circulation concurrently with the present copper coinage of which, it is understood no more will be minted.
 So far the only peoples to attempt to use square coins are those of British dominions. India has had a square 2-anna piece since 1918, Cey- lon, a square Scent piece since 1910 and the straits settlements, a square cent since last year. The action of the Melbourne mint officials is pro- bably dictated by the fact that square coins leave less metal in the sheets from which they are cut.
