46 Pt IV .
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 single 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.
