BRITISH COINAGE
 DESIGNS CHANGED
Is First Alteration in Style
 Since 1916

Washington. Feb. i - Jingling in the pockets of Englishmen today are the new silver coins recently releas- ed by the British government which mark the first change in design of British coinage since 1916.
 "Silver has been important in Brit ish coinage since the days of Charle- magne," says a bulletin from the Washington. D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society When the great emperor set up a silver standard in France in the Sth century he established . pound of silver as a basis of value. Then the British across the channel became familiar with the silver pound and from Charlemagne's pound came the pound sterling which is a measure of value rather than weight.
 Lumps Of Clay for Notes
 "The shilling, England's silver piece which is similar in size and nearly equivalent in value to our quarter-dollar, got Is name from fragments of armbands which were worn by northern European war riors," continues the bulletin. "The conquerors stripped the bands from their fallen enemies, broke them in small pieces called schillingas, and distributed them among the soldiers.
 "Silver did not begin it's reign in the Wall Street of the ancients un- til 200 years before Caesar. Before that time almost anything of value was traded and used in exchange. The OK was employed as basis of exchange by some pastoral people. Sheep, which were plentiful, played the part of the penny in their early monetary system. An OK was worth ten sheep. But it took from ten to 50 oxen to buy an armor. If a tradesman did not have ready cash scribe a promissory note thereon, and hand it to his creditor. The gambler likewise made and handed his adversaries I. o. us to cover his losses.
 Copper Pots Were Money
 Cattle and sheep had to be fed by the owners and sometimes wan dered away, so when copper was found in quantities sufficient for coinage, it became the principal medium of exchange. Copper pots were popular and passed from own CT to owner as currency. Later the coppersmiths decided not to ham, mer the metal into pots. The metal and not it's shape, came to be recog- nized as the thing of value.
 "rhe Romans explored their do- mains for copper. Much of it came from Cyprus frmo which copper got it's name by some twist of the Islands name. The ambitious
