HC Deb 03 March 1920 vol 126 c474W
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to consider the issue of nickel sixpences and threepenny pieces?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

This question was fully considered before the Coinage Bill was introduced and it was thought best to retain silver for these coins.

Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has definitely discarded the idea of issuing 5s. and other notes of lower denominations?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have every hope that there may be no necessity to issue 5s. notes.
