And there have been fuch Variety of Dyes made ufe of by Mr. Wood in StMopingim Money, that it makes the Difcovcry of Goihatcr-^ leits more difficult, and the Profit is fy great that it vsrill be a fufficicnt Temptation to our kidiiftri^ ous Neighbours of Holland to fend large Quan-^ ^ib9 iapafs Mr. "Wo OD% Coin. 191 dties of this Coin to fo fure a Market as the Ex-' chequer. And perhaps it may be a Queftion among Lawyers, whether a Man can be puniflied at the King's Suit, for counterfeiting thi...s Coin, becaufe it is not the current Coin of the Kingdom; for tho' thefe Half-pence are to be received as Mo- ney in the Exchequer, yet in Trade they are no better than Counters, and therefore the Patent may perhaps be conftrued to be no more than a Grant of a Monopoly to make thofe Counters. But it is worth obferving, that if this Patent is fo worded, as that his Majeflys Officers, em- ployed in the Receipt of his Revenue, can't rc- fiife receiving this Coin, it is direftly contrary to Two k&s of Parliament now in force in this Kingdom, and which are to be found in the Books of Rates diftributed among the Officers of the Revenue.
