C
Reasons Of Frauds relative to the Coin.
Now that such a case will often happen has been shewn. It
will often happen therefore that a man will be found who will
unwillingly accept the counterfeit Coin, and if it stays upon
his hands be a sufferer by it. This is the only point in the
case that is material ; whether , in default of an inducement
which is always present somewhere or other and always adequate,
there would be such or such another inducement, is
a question altogether immaterial with a view to practice . If
there be any one sngle man in the nation who will accept
the counterfeit Coin , the mischief is as effectually incurred and
that mischief is as great , as if there were ten thousand who
would take it. It could ultimately fall upon no more than
some one person in the former case , and that does equally
in the latter.
2 Secondary Mischief. The alarm is perhaps not always quite so great where
foreign Coin is counterfeited or diminished as where a like injury
is done to the domestic Country Coin .. All people who come to
know of it are not necessarily alarmed at it ; but all people
are who may have occasion to accept the counterfeit foreign Coin.
