Scheme I
Comments/Suggestions
The four kinds of coins currently in use. remain unchanged. The 20-oent coin is to be minted in bronze and in circular shape, being heavier and larger than the 10-cent coin. The $2.50 coin will be rectangular in shape with round edges, but the $5 coin
remains circular.
The advantages of this Scheme are:-
(a) Less expenses will be incurred since
the existing coins in circulation
remain unchanged.
(b) A different shape for the $2.50 coin
will facilitate easy and clear
distinction.

The 20-cent bronze coin will be the same as
in Scheme I. The existing $1 coin will be
re-minted in reduced size and lighter in weight. The $2.50 coin will take the size and weight of the existing 1 dollar coin. The $5 coin will take the same size and weight of the Australian 50 cents coin. Under this Scheme, all coins will be
circular in shape.
The advantages of this Scheme are:-
(a) All the coins are consistent in
shape, i.e., circular.
(b) The weight of the $1 and $5 coins
will be lighter than those under
Scheme I.
The disadvantages of this Scheme are:-
(a) Larger expenses will be incurred
