being a sub-department of the Treasury for the purchase of

Hongkong subcoin, while both merchants in their business and

the Government in collecting its revenue would adhere to the

established rules with regard to legal tender of coinage. The

redemption of subcoin would be an entirely independent trans-

-action: and the subcoin as redeemed would be demonetized, sold

or converted into dollars and used for payment of interest and

sinking fund on the loan made to Government by the large hold-

a new and wholly different Hongkong Subsidiary Coinage would be

issued to take the place of the coins withdrawn. These new

subcoins would be of nickel, or some similar metal, and the

profit on issuing them would also be appropriated to the

subsidiary coinage loan account until the loans were finally

redeemed. It is probable that the profit on issuing a nickel

coinage would not be less than 50%: but on this point I have no

reliable information. As soon as the issue of new subcoin was

made, the old subcoins would be declared to be no longer legal
