Curious Old Coins

John Lavelle of Janesvine, Mich., while at work in his garden found a copper coin, which is a good deal of a curiosity. The trascription on one side of the coin reads: "My Currency, My Glory." The reverse side of the coin reads; "Perish credit, perish commerce," "Down with the bank," "My victory." A good-sized porker is pictured in the center of the piece, and the reading matter stamped on the side of the animal Is so obliterated as to make it unintelligible. The coin is evidently a relic of a campaign when finances were as prominent as they have been in some of the later years.
