COINAGE PLANT FOR CHINA.
The following is from the American Ba porter:-
Dissatisfaction was expressed some time ago &leading viceroy of Chiux, Lád K'un-yi, that the copper coin known in that country as cash," and stenek by a foreign machinery of the Carton mint, was too heavy and was apt to- terapt counterfeiters to melt it down and can lighter cash." The Imperial Govorniment then ordored? skree new additional coizugo.plants. and the order was given to the Unitel Hot and execntat in New Jersey. The plants are how actively operative either at or near Peking, and are under the immediate supervision of the Emperor. Two of these plants were designed For making cash of ordinary brass, or of two third copper sad one third zinc--for so -and circulation in the northern provinces of China, nul at present are reported as turning out some 79,600 one per day, each machton making par innte.
The third coinage plant af American con siraution was completely fitted up if uat vriginally designed, for producing five kizon of silver cous, the exact eorutorparts, except in espect to inscription and design, of the United- States 5-cont, 16-cont, 50-ennt, und $1, places, the last containing exactly 113 grains, the United States silver standard.
