QUESTIONS to be proposed to the Merchants, Mint Masters, and Goldsmiths concerning the Alteration of the Silver-Monies.
1. WHETHER the English Monies now current are not as dear as the Forrein of the Dollar and Real of 8. in the intrinsick Value in the usual Exchanges now made by the Merchants beyond Seas.
2. Whether this advancing will not cause all the Silver Bullion, that might be transported in Mass or Forrein Coin, to be minted with the King’s Stamp beyond Sea, and so transported, and his Mint thereby set less on work than now?
3. Whether the advancing the Silver Coin in England will not cause a transportation of most of that that is now current to be minted in the Netherlands, and from them brought back again, whereby his Majesties Mint will fail by the exported benefit?
4. Whether the advancing the Silver Coin, if it produce the former Effects, will not cause the Markets to be unfurnished of present Coin to drive the Exchange, when most of the old will be used in Bullion?
5. Whether the higher we raise the Coin at home, we make not thereby our Commodities beyond Sea the cheaper?
6. Whether the greatest Profit by this inhauncing, will not grow to the ill Members of the State, that have formerly culled the weightiest Pieces and sold them to the Stranger-Merchants to be transported?
