Pt IV .47 C Of Frauds relative to the Coin. Reasons

Coin. It may happen that but a few are in this case; but
it may happen that all are in the same case. It depends
upon the degree of currency which the foreign Coin in question
may happen to have. Besides by knowing that a
fraud has been practised upon that Coin they know that there
is a criminal who has the inclination and the power to do
mischief in this way, or "yesterday" they will say to themselves,
"he practised it upon foreign Coin ; but to morrow he may
practise it upon our own .

3. 3. Profit The Profit is just the same: for the gain of half a
crown, for example , upon a Guinea is neither more nor less than that of half
a crown upon a louis-dor .

If an Offender thinks he can get off counterfeit foreign Coin
he will counterfeit foreign Coin; if he does not think he can
get off counterfeit domestic Coin, he will not counterfeit domestic
Coin.

Lastly 1. The danger of detection is much upon a Par. There
seems no reason to be given why it should be materially greater
in the one case than in the other.
