HC Deb 22 November 1946 vol 430 cc190-1W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in changing over to the new coinage, he will arrange for the minting of a greater proportion of shillings compared with sixpences, so many of the former being absorbed by the slot-meter system in recent years.

Mr. Dalton

There is no general shortage of shilling pieces. Supplies are available to the banks if local shortage arise.
