THOSE BIG NICKELS In view of the unpopularity of the big five cent coin with so tnany peo- ple, the foUowinr Ottawa despatch is of interest: â€" **The request of the Re- tail Merchants 'Association of Canada for the withdrawal of one or other of the Canadian five cent coins from cir- culation will, it is mid, result in a ">uch more liberal interoretation be- ing pot on Vom and defaced coinage' in order that the small five-cent pieces may all be withdrawn from circxila- ti'on and melted down for other coin. The government is likelv to retain the larre nickel coin. This latter was I authorized for issue in 1921. but the ' issue has not been rapid owine to the I large number of the small five-cent i pieces in circulation since the war and the coT"<e<iuent lack of demand for new roin,<»ge.
