 NEW COINAGE

 Although for convenience the issue
of the new Coinage in St. Vincent has
been delayed until the new year, this
measure does not affect its legality as
tender. S.R. & 0. 1955 No. 21 gazetted
21st June. 1955, proclaimed this coin-
age as legal Lenler with effect from 1st
July, 1955.
 2. As neighboring territories have
all made tiartial or complete issues it is
inevitable that a small quantity of the
new coinage will find its way into our
circulation. Cases have comn to light
where new coins have been refused; it,
is emphasized that this is incorrect, the
new coins must be regarded as equally
valid as the U.K. coinage.
