No "Edward" Coins To Be Struck
STAMPS AS USUAL
An interesting situation hus arisen in regard to the issue of postage stamps and coln following the acces sion of the new King.
There is no previcus case of an English monarch having abdicated since postage stamps were first issued. It is understood, however, that the same procedure will be adopted as would have been the case had the new King succeeded on the death of his brother.
Despite the fact that King Edward will still be living as a private citizen, all present stocks of Edward VII. stamps will be sold. These stocks, together with the small stocks of George V. stamps still remaining are expected to prove sufficient until a new design can be approved.
No Edward VIII. coins have been struck. The Royal Mint will, there- fore, continue to strike George V. coinage until dies bearing the head of the new monarch can be prepared.
Hitherto, it has been customary to strike coinage of the new reign on January 1 following the end of the previous relgo. The abdication of King Edward so shortly before the
issue of new coinage within the usual time impracticable.
CORONATION
Fees Reduced From £2 to 8s.
TOURIST traffic to England during Coronation Year
has received yet another great impetus by the an- nouncement that from April 1 visa fees charged to Americans visiting England are to be reduced from £2 to 8s.
This
announcement was made in the House of Commons when Viscount Cranborne, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, stated that an agreement was being negotiated between the British and United States Governments to bring about a re ciprocal reduction.
Except in the case of immigrants into the United States, visa fees are mutually to be reduced to 8s.
Thus is removed a handicap for 16 years which has lasted and which has been an im- sortant factor in discouraging United States tourists from visit- Ing England.
The difficulty started in 1920, when a visa charge of ten dollars (£2)
