a possibility

OTTAWA (CP) — Unless
the Bank of Canada decides
to do away. with paper
money, Canadians will. be
folding their dollars for many.
years to come.

Despite recent reports, the
Royal Cansdian Mint can't
have any plans to reduce
billfolds. to. change purses
because! it doesn't have the
authority, said Denis Cu-
dahy, vice-president of manu-
facturing for the mint.

That responsibility lies
with the Bank of Canada, he
said in an interview.

What the mint can, and is,
doing is trying to develop a
better coin dollar.

Those dollars:have been in
circulation since 1935, and
the current design, ‘used
since 1968, is too heavy and
too large to be popular,
Cudahy said.

The 1968 model is nickel,
15.6 grams in weight and 82,1
milimetres in diameter.

“We're looking at an alter-
native so it would circulate
more freely.”

‘Toward that end, the mint
has been working on possible
shapes and sizes.and consult-
ing various groups, such as
transit authorities and vend-
ing machine associations, for
input and reaction,

18 COMPLEX ISSUE .

But designing a new coin is
complex — size, weight,. di-
ameter, shape and’ ore all
have to.be considered.

“We have to have a coin EY
that will work in with all
other coins," Cudahy. said.

In addition, it has to be |

identifiable for such groups
as the blind.”

When a satisfactory. coin
has been designed, the mint
will produce — significantly
more coin dollars than the
two million to three ‘million
now circulated annually, he
said. :

But he did not elaborate on
the, amount -or how ‘long: it
could take:to develop. an’ ac.
ceptable coin. . |» pie

A new:$1'coin has been’
under~ study for several :

the Canadian Urban Transit
Assoication, has, submitted

U.S. backs off

Bombardier deal’

.WASHINGTON. (CP): —:
Treasury Secretary Donald
Regan announced Tuesday he
has decided against providing
a. low-interest U.S." loan‘ to
back the ‘sale ‘of American-
.Mdde subway cars,‘to New

‘k City in competition with-
Bombardier Inc. of Montreal.

The ‘decision’ against--sup-
porting the rival Budd Co. of
Troy Mich. clears the way for
Bombardier, which is backed
by; a low-interest loan‘ from
Ottawa, to close its ‘billicn-
dollar deal on schedule Thurs-

But’ Regan’s decision, ‘an-
nounced at a news confer-

ence, was based on a finding -

that the Canadian loan was
not likely the determining
factor in swinging the deal for
Bombardier. He. cited addi-
tional factors, including price,
delivery schedules and qual-
ity.

Regan. said the ' require-
ments of the law governing
such loans by the. U.S. Im-
port-Export Bank thus had
not been fulfilled. The legal
provision for matching loans
to U.S. companies in the face
of “non-competitive finan-
cing” .from abroad requires
that the foreign funding is
“likely to be a determining
factor,” in cutting out: an
American competitor.

RESTRICTED BY LAW.

In answer to questions; Re-
gan said the law restricted
him to consider the Canadian
financing — a well-below-
market annual interest rate

of 9.7 per cent of loans,

‘covering 80-per cent of the
cost rather than the impact
on employment.

The employment issue fig-
