23 February 1909.
The Board have received a memorandum from Sir John
Jordan enquiring, at therequest of His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, whether in view of the issue of a Decree establishing & tael ourrency it is the intention of the Chinese Government to withdraw the existing subsidiary coins representing decimal parts of a dollar, and whether the output of the Provincial Minta will be under
Central Control.
In reply to enquiries addressed to the Board of Finance
the Waiwupu have now received a communication from that department, wherein they call attention to the great importance of the question
of the currency and point out that if a perfect system is to be devised it is essential that the subject should be considered in all its aspects. At the present time the Government Council are pre- paring a Memorial on the subject and as soon as the result of their deliberations is made known a detailed scheme will be prepared and general instructions issued. As regards subsidiary coins the Board of Finance point out that they have long been in circulation in all parts of China and not merely in Kuangtung. As soon as the whole question has been considered and a scheme decided upon a further
communication will be sent.
