COPPER TOKENS.
\Tothe Editor of the Oiaqo Daily Times.) <
Sib,—No sooner'bas the copper " Token coinage been denounced in Victoria than Dunedia is not only flooded with these cast-off representations of Professor Hollo,vay and others, but I notice, that large •iuantitie* of " tokens," war'-ely. of the value of; a " halfpenny," but which are made to pass current as "pi-riny" pieces; bearing the superscription of ",&' de Carle and C 0.," have within the lkst two days .been put into large circulation. Now, as_there is no lack of small change heTe, 1 think the public would do well to refiise these trashy coins,* and not be seduced by a winning smil', and " I am afraid I must trouble you with coppers." <<• • ■■;.-. ■.'■-■: Your?obediently'ciJiißE N cY.
