Penny A Pound “In 800 A.D. a silver penny would buy about the same quantity of goods that £1 will buy today,” said the chief cashier of the Reserve Bank (Mr R. M. Fleming) in a luncheon address to the Founders Society in Wellington yesterday. “We at the Reserve Bank do our very best to try to stop that sort of thing happening to money, but it seems to keep going on.” — (P.A.)
