BE ON DECIMAL BASIS
London, April 11. (Correspon
dence) A decimal coinage bill, pro
viding for a rearrangement of the
British moqey system on a decimal
basis, has been introduced in the
house of lords by Lord Southwark.
The bill Is the result of conferences
between two great business organ
isations, the Institute of Bankers
and . the Associated . Chambers of
Commerce. Both organisations gave
their support to the scheme oy a
unanimous vote.
The bill provides for the contin
uance of the sovereign and the flor
in, the latter being one-tenth of the
sovereign or pound. A new coin,
one-hundredth of a pound, will make
Its appearance, being practically
equivalent to the American nickel.
The new farthing will be worth
slightly less than the present far
thing, being exactly one-thousandth
of a pound. Five farthings wtll
make up the new penny. ;
