cuaP. vi] TRADE RELATIONS AND CURRENCY 1187 coinage and legal tender generally. It supersedes the Order in Council of August 1, 1896, regarding currency in the states issued under the Acts of 1870 and 1891, and of course, being merely a Colonial Act, would have had no validity until it was given effect by the repeal by proclamation on January 23, 1911, under the same authority of the Order in Council in question, but it does not affect the position of the Imperial mints in the three states. Asin Canada British gold (including gold struck at any branch mint) is legal tender so long as it is $0 in the United Kingdom. Local legislation also exists in Newfoundland (58 Vict. c. 4), which has a dollar coinage, coined in England at the Mint. It recognizes not only British gold, but also silver and bronze coins as legal tender. Like the Canadian law before 1910 it requires the issue of a royal proclamation to determine values of foreign coins and a similar proclamation to fix the rates at which gold, silver or bronze coins struck for circulation in the Colony shall pass current. It should, moreover, be noted that the royal pleasure is always taken as to the inscriptions on coins and so forth.! New Zealand is still using silver coinage imported from the Mint, and gold coinage minted in Australia or in England, and the Union of South Africa is in the same position.2 * A minister of New Brunswick who placed his own head on a stamp issue was compelled to resign and the issue recalled (1861); see Hannay, New Brunswick, ii. 194. This is of course a less solecism than placing a wrong sffigy on coins, for the ars cudend: has been since classical times a sovereign "ight, while stamps have a humbler origin, The Coinage (Colonial) Offences det, 1853, has been in the main superseded by local legislation as authorized in s. 3. * See Orders in Council, August 1, 1896, and January 23, 1911. For Newfoundland, see Order, August 9, 1870. For the branch mints, Chalmers, pp. 445 seq.
