HC Deb 25 June 1907 vol 176 cc1125-6
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he can state for the last available period the number and value of each of the coins issued by the Mint for Maundy purposes, the total amount realised by the sale or distribution of these coins, the net loss in connection with the issue of this money, and whether such loss is met by payments out of the Consolidated Fund.

(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The issues of Maundy coin in 1906 were:—

£ s. d.
8,602 fourpences 143 7 4
8,482 threepences 106 0 6
9,376 twopences 78 2 8
10,926 pence 45 10 6
Total 373 1 0

There is no loss on the issue of Maundy money, as payment of this coin is made to the Mint, and the profit resulting is in the same ratio as that on the other silver coinage.
