Reasons Of Frauds relative to the Coin.
Quest. VI. Why the Punishment is no severer? Reasons
Difficulty of circulating a considerable quantity. The mischief that can be done in this way by one offender

and occupation cannot, without being detected, circulate
more Coin that it will be expected should be disbursed by a
man of such rank, fortune, and reputation as his appears to be: and, of the Coin which
he does circulate, certainly it is not the whole that can be bad

Coin without being detected, will even bear but a small
ratio to the whole of the coin he circulates. It is true, that
by continually changing the people with whom he deals, and
thus contriving always to have strangers to deal with, he may
circulate more and more: but the circulation even when this
method is taken to extend it, has still its bounds. In the

persons to deal with will take up a considerable degree
of time. In the next place he must, upon an average, expend with
