Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797
Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797 by George Manz You've probably heard these words and names before: Cartwheel, Soho, Matthew Boulton, and James Watt. But did you know how instrumental they were in accelerating the Industrial Revolution? Like the strands of a rope, the history of Britain's 1797 Cartwheel coinage is intertwined with the Industrial Revolution. And that change in the method of producing goods for market is intermeshed with the Soho Mint and its owners, Matthew Boulton and James Watt. We begin this story in Birmingham, England in 1759 when Matthew Boulton Jr., now in his early 30s, inherited his father's toy business which manufactured many items, including buttons. Later that year, or possibly the following year, young Matthew Boulton's first wife Mary died. "While personally devastating," Richard Doty writes in his marvelous book, The Soho Mint & the Industrialization of Money, "the deaths of his father and his first wife helped make Soho possible. His father had left the toy business to him, while the estate of his wife, who was a daughter and co-heiress of the wealthy Luke Robinson of Litchfield, added to his growing resources." Doty, the curator of numismatics for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., notes that Boulton eventually went on to wed Mary's sister Anne; Luke Robinson's other daughter and now sole heir to the family fortune. Boulton built a mill which he called Soho Manufactory, named for a place already called Soho, near Birmingham. The mill was erected beside Hockley Brook, which provided the water- power to help power the new factory.

INFORMATION BULLETIN #50 SALES TAX JULY 2017 (Replaces Information Bulletin #50 dated July 2016) Effective Date: July 1, 2016 (Retroactive) SUBJECT: Sales of Coins, Bullion, or Legal Tender REFERENCE: IC 6-2.5-3-5; IC 6-2.5-4-1; 45 IAC 2.2-4-1; IC 6-2.5-5-47 DISCLAIMER: Information bulletins are intended to provide nontechnical assistance to the general public. Every attempt is made to provide information that is consistent with the appropriate statutes, rules, and court decisions. Any information that is inconsistent with the law, regulations, or court decisions is not binding on the department or the taxpayer. Therefore, the information provided herein should serve only as a foundation for further investigation and study of the current law and procedures related to the subject matter covered herein. SUMMARY OF CHANGES Other than nonsubstantive, technical changes, this bulletin is revised to clarify that sales tax exemption for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender applies to coins, bullion, or legal tender that would be allowable investments in individual retirement accounts or individually-directed accounts, even if such coins, bullion, or legal tender was not actually held in such accounts. INTRODUCTION In general, an excise tax known as the state gross retail (“sales”) tax is imposed on sales of tangible personal property made in Indiana. However, transactions involving the sale of or the lease or rental of storage for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender are exempt from sales tax. Transactions involving the sale of coins or bullion are exempt from sales tax if the coins or bullion are permitted investments by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or by an individually-directed account (“IDA”) under 26 U.S.C.

REVOLUTIONARY MONEY Part One 3 Unlike the Spanish colonists to the south, the English settlers of our original thirteen colonies found no gold or silver among the riches of their new land. Neither did they receive great supplies of gold and silver coins from Britain—money was supposed to move the other way, to the mother country, in exchange for goods. The monetary system in the colonies was “notable because it was based on thin air,” says Smithsonian numismatics curator Richard Doty in his book America’s Money, America’s Story. To make up for the lack of curren- cy, the colonists would “replicate and create, try, reject, and redesign every monetary form ever invented anywhere else.” Examples of most of those forms are on display in the Hall of the History of Money and Medals at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Behring Center, an exhibit that draws on the 1.6 million coins and pieces of paper money in the National Numismatic Collection. Here in Smithsonian in Your Classroom, we present images of paper money from the American Revolution. Students examine the money in order to gather primary source information about the times— the Revolutionary period in general and the speciﬁc times when the bills were issued. The lessons address national standards for American history and for historical thinking. An issue of Smithsonian in Your Classroom titled “What Is Currency? Lessons from Historic Africa” introduces students to the meaning and uses of money, and might serve as a companion to this issue. It is on our Web site, educate.si.edu, under Lesson Plans.

Guidance on Fineness Description for Precious Metal Articles
British Hallmarking Council (“the Council”) Guidance on Fineness Description BACKGROUND During 2012 and 2013, the assay offices received an increasing number of consumer, trading standards and trade enquiries concerning descriptions being used in relation to articles consisting of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. These enquiries referred to descriptions such as ‘gold’, ‘silver’, ‘platinum’ or ‘palladium’ where there was no reference to the fineness of the metal. For example “Platinum wedding ring” “Palladium wedding ring” “Real silver earrings” “Solid gold ring” These enquiries were considered by the Technical Committee of the Council. The precious metal content of articles (i.e. the fineness of the precious metal) can vary and is identified in a hallmark by reference to a numerical range (“millesimal” finenesses). For example, the fineness of gold articles ranges from 375/9ct to 999/24ct. Fineness can alternatively be identified in a hallmark by using an approved term, such as “Sterling”. The fineness of the article determines the value of that article, which in turn determines the price. In the Council’s opinion, therefore, descriptions used by retailers and others in the course of a business that do not include reference to a specific fineness standard are incomplete and potentially misleading. The Council has therefore issued this Guidance Note for all those in the supply chain. GUIDANCE 2.1 The statutory provision relating to fineness Schedule 1 of The Hallmarking Act 1973 (“the Act”) makes specific provision for the use of the words “gold”, “silver”, “platinum” and “palladium” but does not stipulate that the precious metal description must identify the fineness standard of an article.

Ending Pollution at the Britannia Copper Mine
Ending Pollution at the Britannia Copper Mine Robert G. McCandless* he Britannia copper mine was once the largest copper mine in the British Commonwealth. Located only forty kilometres from Vancouver beside the current Highway 99 (opened in 1959) to Squamish and Whistler, it started production in late 1904.1 In its best T1929 year, , it mined and milled fifty-five hundred tonnes per day from several underground headings and paid more in dividends than any other BC mine.2 Always American-owned, it was closed in 1974 by the last operator, Anaconda Canada Limited, due to rising costs from aging equipment and a precipitous drop in US copper prices.3 The mine lands were sold; its townsite, Britannia Beach, remained as a rental community under a single owner; and the mining properties became largely derelict. Britannia is an example of a “legacy” mine that caused water pol- lution throughout and long after its seventy-year life. It closed as public awareness of pollution and environmental degradation increased and as citizens came to expect government regulatory action to control it. British Columbia has other historic mines that cause pollution, but none on the scale of Britannia. Between 1960 and 1974, the province broadened its concern with water pollution from an initial focus on sewage and public health to regulating industrial pollution through permits and orders issued by the director of pollution control.4 The history of applying water pollution controls to British Columbia’s mining sector is too large a subject for this article, but a recent PhD dissertation by Arn * In 2012, an earlier version of this article, given at the 9th International Mine History Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, was intended to inform that country’s efforts to control pollution from its many historic mines.
