[edit] Summary

TAKING THE OFFERTORY. Mr. Austen Chamberlain (as Sidesman). "The threepenny-bit is economical, perhaps; but a desirable coin, from my point of view, it is not."

(A modest little Bill empowering the Mint to manufacture coins worth something less than their weight in silver aroused the wrath of Professor Oman. The last time, according to his account, that the coinage was thus debased was in the days of Henry VIII., whose views both on money and matrimony were notoriously lax. Other Members were friendly to the project, and Mr. Dennis Herbert, in the avowed interest of churchwardens, urged the Government to seize the opportunity to abolish the threepeeny-bit, the irreducible minimum of "respectable" almsgiving. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, stoutly championed the elusive little coin, for which he declared there was "an immense demand.")
