(Circular.)

Sir:

I have the Honor of transmitting to your Excellency herewith enclosed, an Ordinance for the Establishing of the Mint of the United States of America, and for Regulating the Value and Alloy of Coin. As this Ordinance Limits the Time after which no Foreign Copper Coin shall be current within the United States and fixes the Value of Copper Coin struck under the Authority of any particular State in the Union, I submit to your Excellency the propriety of causing it to be published for the information of all whom it may concern, within the State over which you preside.
