Rabaul, Mar. 27.
/''IWING to the extensive buying up of New Guinea pennies, bearing the mono gram of King Edward VIII., the local banks have received permission to issue Australian pennies. The demand for the E.R.I. coins has been so great that seldom does one see them in circulation now.
It is understood that these coins are the only ones in the British Empire minted with King Edward’s monogram.
The general impression is that they will have a good value in the future.
