HC Deb 29 October 1908 vol 195 c486
SIR WILLIAM BULL (Hammersmith)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advantages of replacing the present bronze coinage with nickel, such as has been recently introduced in India, where the anna is minted at a size slightly larger than a sixpenny piece, with undulating edges for difference.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

I am not aware of any advantages which would justify the expense and disturbance to trade which would accrue from such a change.
