COINS COMPARED.—One of the proposed decimal coinage size ranges submitted for Government consideration. The largest of the new coins would be almost the same size as the present florin; the smallest would be a little smaller than the sixpence; and three coins (the florin, threepence and halfpenny) would have no new decimal coinage equivalents. The 1-cent coin would be bronze and the rest cupro-nickel.
