Free coinage of gold and silver debated in town letter
A reader from Huntertown asks about free coinage of silver on equal terms with gold. The reply notes gold is coined free today, and argues for silver to receive the same privilege, adding that coining silver would require paying for it if gold is charged, a principle bi metallists defend. Coining silver for owners ended in 1873.
