The foundation of a person’s or an institution’s want of such a holding of coin is easy to see: it is the necessity or convenience of having means of payment at hand. The prudent shopkeeper takes care not to leave his till wholly without coin, because he fears a customer may walk out in a huff if he has to say he has ““ no change ”’; the prudent housewife must have enough coin all through Sunday (when she may be spending nothing beyond 14. or 3d. to the church collection) to pay for last week’s washing when the cart calls for this week’s early on Monday; the prudent citizen does not literally invest his last penny in War-bonds as requested by the War-Savings Committee, because
