One great cause ot the loss of precious metal irom the stock of the world is shown to be the practice which prevails at the mints of each nation of melting for eign coins and recoining the metal. Thus our mints melt English sovereigns and other foreign coins as soon as re ceived, and vast the metal into ingots for coinage into American money, which is often shipped back to Europe, recoined into sovereigns, and again, alter another sea voyage, transmuted into dollars. This govs ou in endless process, and hundreds of millions of pounds of gold have been melted over and over again in this way. Experiments made many years agoui the British Mint proved that an appreciable loss of the precious metal takes place with every handling Even the most careful transferring ol coin or ingots from one room to another or from one package to another causes a loss. Every time the metal is melted a consid erable loss occurs, and this is increased by the metallurgical operations necessa ry to convert sovereigns into dollars, or vice versa. This loss is declared, by fi nancial ex|»erts, to be absolutely unnec essary. Here is an example of the process as between this couutry and England The United States standard of fineness is iHM) parts of gold and 100 parts of copper alloy being based on the French decimal sys tem. The English standard is based on the old “carat,” the sovereign being 22 carats or eleven-twelfths fine, which is equivalent to 910.5 parts of gold in 1000 parts, the balance being alloy. The weight of the sovereign is 123 274 grains, or 0.720 grains less than our |<> gold piece; and its value in our money is |4.SO0 as determined by the United States Mint assay. When a lot of gold sovereigns are melted at a United States Mint for coinage into onr gold money the requisite amount of cornier is added to bring the proportion ot gold down from 910.5 to 9Oo parts in 1000. When tins money is shipped to England and re coined into sovereign»» the reverse pro cess lakes place, sufficient pure gold be ing added to bring the pro|»ortion back to the British standard of 910.5 To take steps to avoid in time to come (he extravagant wastefulness which has thus been going on for years nnd years an international monetary conference has been suggested, its ultimate object to I m * the codification oi all monetary laws and the formation of a uniform in ternatiuiial monetary system S.
