[QUOTE="Willo, post: 15186, member: 783"] Headbut correct. Sir John Forrest (Swan) (Treasurer) . - If the Committee desires to include the half-crown I have no objection. Unless there is a direction to the contrary it is not the intention of the Government to mint that coin at present. But if the Committee thinks that the Government should have the power to do so the matter is altogether in its hands, and the Government will not oppose a proposal to that effect. This is the first step to the adoption of decimal coinage, and I am inclined to think if we believe in that system we ought not to legislate in an adverse direction. Your turn, well done. [/QUOTE]
