6. The laws, as they now stand, are silent regarding Provincial Copper Coin, or what are called _Tokens_, representing an Halfpenny. It might perhaps be useful to legalize _Tokens_ or _Provincial Coins_ on three conditions. [-->] _1. That the Copper of which they are made shall be pure.--2. That this Coin shall be at least 10 per cent. heavier than Mr. Boulton's new Coinage.--3. That the parties circulating such Coin be responsible to the holders, for the value in Gold or Silver, when demanded: and shall stamp their names and an obligation to that purpose on the Coins, Tokens, or Medals so issued by them._--It would be necessary under such circumstances that every person, issuing Tokens or Medals, should take out a Licence for that purpose from the principal Officers of the Mint, as an authority for such Coinage: giving security at the same time to observe the above Conditions. It may, however, be worthy consideration, whether these tokens should not be wholly suppressed, and the offence of fabricating any Copper pieces passing, or intended to pass "_as, for, or in lieu of_" the lawful Copper Coin, be made felony: and that such tokens should in all respects be considered as actual Counterfeit Coin, and treated accordingly: or, at all events, that persons issuing and circulating such tokens should be liable to a severe penalty; and bound to pay the holder, on demand, the full denominated value. 7. The mischievous agents of the Dealers in base Money, _the persons who keep Flatting-mills, and other machinery, for preparing, and rolling their metals, for being coined into base Money_, are not at present within the reach of punishment by any existing law. Although by preparing the metal for the subsequent process of stamping, they are in fact parties concerned, without whose aid the Coinage of what are called _Flats_, or milled money, could not be carried on.--The chief difficulty is in punishing persons for producing an article which may be turned into coach and harness ornaments, buttons, and many purposes as well as base Money.
