§ 51. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the bad minting of some of the new copper coins; and whether he will call the attention of the Mint authorities to the subject?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIf, as I presume, the hon. Member has in mind the striking of coins where the impression of the obverse die is noticeable on the reverse, I would refer him to the explanations given by my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the hon. Member for North Somerset in Debate on the 25th June last.
§ Mr. KINGWill the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to have a few really minted coins placed in the tea room to show what the Mint can do?
