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

The smaller the value of the Coin , the more likely the loss is to fall on the poor. smaller value, the poorer the person is who is likely to suffer by its
being debased: There are persons to whom a halfpenny is as great
a loss as a half a guinea or even a guinea is to certain other persons. Wherever this is the case the primary mischief of uttering
a bad half penny is as great as that of uttering a bad guinea;
and the secondary mischief would be in the same proportion; as
both the danger and the apprehension of taking bad half pence
will be as great to those whose principal concern is with halfpence,
as the danger and apprehension of taking bad guineas
is to those whose principal concern is with guineas. The

Note

The establishment or non establishment of paper money in
a country is a circumstance upon which the proportionable mischief
of uttering bad Gold and Silver Coin and that of uttering bad Copper
Coin will depend in some degree. Where paper money is current
there will not be so much gold or Silver in currency; no man
will have such large Sums by him in either of those metals, as
he would have were there no currency in paper. Now the greater
quantity of Coin of any kind a man has by him the more bad
Coin will he be likely to have amongst it.
