COUNTERFEIT SHILLINGS
CIRCULATION IN WELLINGTON BELIEVED COMING FROM CHINA [BY TET.EGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Sunday Counterfeit shillings at present in circulation in "Wellington are believed to have come from China through Australia. The shillings are remarkably good imitations, and to the average person differ from the minted shillings only in their lack of ring. They are dated 1921, and to those used to handling coins are slightly darker and duller in appearance and are also slightly lighter to expert fingers. It is believed large quantities of these coins were brought into Australia from China, and the few in circulation here have come from the Commonwealth.
