OVERSEAS -SCOTS AND THE
3d, BIT.
Travellers with sacks of coins; the truth about the Scotsman and
the threepenny bit; how 33,000,000 sovereigns were melted into bars of bullion.
These, and many other sales of mones-making marvels, are told in the report for 1930, issued by the Deputy Master bad. Comptroller of the Royal Mint.
The £33,000,000 melted into bars was destined for the Bank of France: It had to be remelted into the burs of standard fineness to meet the requirements of France. This conversion of sovereigns, states the report, is still proceeding.
This optimisa is all the more that many important events, in encouraging in via of the fact cluding the last General Election, have been forecast with uncanny accuracy in Foulshara's edition of Old Moore's Almanack.
In the edition published in the summer of 1930 it predicted that -in October of this year there would

New Zealand, it appears, and not Aberdeen, is the real home of the threepenny-piece. More than half the total overseas issue of £24,035 threepenny-picces went to New Żea-
Land.
Heavy discount in the Australian exchange resulted in British silver or bronze coinage in the Common- wehlth being brought to England for disposal at face value.
Travellers have not been slow to take advantage of this anomaly, and many have actually embarked for home carrying sacks full of British coin."
The silver coin is not legal tender for amounts exceeding £2 at a time or the bronze for more than 1s. But this difficulty was overcome by the goodwill of the Australian banks in London....
