Response to a further proposal by the Irish Chancellor for a Dublin Mint
Contents
Uniformity of coinage between the two countries is strongly recommended, and it might be advisable to set up a temporary Mint in Ireland for eighteen months or two years to effect a recoinage. In the long term, however, it is more economical to mint Ireland's money in London, and a permanent Mint in Ireland might have adverse effects on English trade.
