Coin Shortage “Temporary”
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Nov. 23.
Extra silver coins minted last year had made more than adequate allowance for the withdrawal of half-crowns and there was no intention of minting any additional florins, shillings, or sixpences at this stage, a Treasury officer said today.
