Detailed proposal to increase tin consumption by making halfpence of tin and using tin bars in various denominations as currency, with a suggestion for paper money backed by reserves of tin. The 'Bulk and Ponderosity of the s[ai]d Tin-money' [according to Craig, NATM, 59, the larger coins would have weighed two to three hundredweight] will be no disadvantage, but serve rather to encourage the establishment of banks and the use of paper money, and to deter counterfeiters.
