Pt IV . 45
C
Of Frauds relative to the Coin. Reasons
A man's not being obliged to accept makes no difference. only Coin which a man is obliged to accept in payment : unless
it be such foreign Coin as the State has thought proper to adopt:
which puts it upon the footing of domestic . On this account it may
be thought that the counterfeiting of the former is more mischievous
than the counterfeiting of the latter . But this objection,
when examined, will be found to be of little force. A piece
of domestic Coin , if it happens to be counterfeit , he is no more
obliged to take , than he is to take counterfeit foreign Coin.
When a piece of counterfeit domestic Coin then is tendered to him,
if he suspects it, measures are taken, I suppose, by the Laws of
all Countries, to give him a right to put it to the test at his
peril; so that if it turns out not to be good, the loss falls not
upon him but upon the tenderer. This obligation to accept is a
circumstance that applies not in one case out of ten thousand.
In ordinary Cases where a man accepts money , it is not that
he is forced but that he chuses so to do . The question then upon
which the mischief turns is whether there be any case in
which a man would have an adequate inducement to accept
of the counterfeit foreign Coin , if he did not suspect it so to be. Now
