The American money then will be melted down and 1 runst erred Into Australian coiragi. The American government will pay a mintage fee of three pence an ounce, but will av ?30,(HH) in ex change on the deal, naval officers estimate. If American dollars were exchanged for Australian currency, the rate would be approximately .4 $4.01 to the pound, while tho pres ent ounce-for-ounce arrangement plus the small mintage- charge re sults in a Raving both to Australia und the I'nlted Slates, It was pointed out.
